masthead.social contains at least one qanon type shithead theyve either refused to deal with or, given their admin hasnt posted in almost 2 years, no moderation to actually do something about it

scrolling through their featured accounts i also saw what looked like some free speech extremist and other white supremacist looking accounts but i didnt actually click on em

#mastoadmins Hey, if your mastodon instance uses letsencrypt, there could be some issues going ahead.
https://letsencrypt.org/2020/11/06/own-two-feet.html

You may very well need to badger the hell out of your certificate provider, masto.host would be the one to do it on if you use their service.

Even if you don't use letsencrypt this could cause issues with federating with other instances. Anyway, good adminining

knight!

here's a list of a few more, not all of these are fediverse instances, but they could become one at some point in the future

- https://fightbig.tech/
- https://thefediverse.space/
- https://bwzone.xyz/
- https://2ar.xyz/
- https://thepopulist.icu/
- https://thecitizen.icu/
- https://projectveritas.icu/
- https://freespeech.icu/
- https://plandemic.icu/
- https://degooglization.icu/
- https://rino.icu/
- https://povertypimps.xyz/
- https://verityweekly.com/
- https://gellerreport.com/

the only real way i can figure out how to block all of these as they come up might be to block domains with these name servers:
- ns1.blockchainbank.solutions.
- ns1.iblockchainbank.group.
- ns1.blockchainbank.technology.
- ns1.blockchainbank.today.

A group known as "fightbigtech" has been creating a ton of spammy instances full of rightwing agitprop.

Here's a list of the ones I could find:

- tweety.icu
- katiehopkinspolitical.icu
- voicenews.icu
- antivaxxer.icu
- theduran.icu
- censorship.icu
- political.icu

I would recommend general suspicion of any .icu domain, seeing as they're cheap — don't autoblock them, but perhaps check their content if they show up.
