meta meta, blocklists
It occurs to me that a lot of the discourse around blocklists can get extremely heated without ever talking about the role of the malicious instances *getting* blocked.
That doesn't mean that there aren't legitimate concerns about the usage of shared blocklists or lack thereof, but when folks become angrier at folks discussing the merits of blocklists than at the shitty people who necessitate all the blocking in the first place... that doesn't seem like a desirable outcome.

(I'd invoke the concept of lateral violence here, but in this case it's a bit more complicated because getting the approach to blocklists wrong also risks causing *actual* additional harm)
