Domain blocks are a powerful tool that helps keep the fediverse safe. And they're also a source of controversies.

Here's my latest Fediverse Exploration.

And for those wondering, my own self-hosted server was only blocked by one instance, which I've never heard of. It hosts four registered accounts, and seems to block pretty much every other known server.

@stefan I wonder if that server knows of allow-mode, which may suit better?

@thisismissem I believe it was a Misskey server, not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm not too familiar with how this platform handles domain blocks, or how to view them, but that particular server showed up as blocking all the domains I checked (the big ones analyzed in the article, plus mine), so I'm assuming they must be blocking a rather large list.

@stefan @thisismissem would it happen to have been lol.lamp.wtf?

If so, I'm pretty sure it's a meme instance or such. Every instance is blocked with the reason "penis" 🤷‍♂️

@BeAware @thisismissem Yep, you found it!

@stefan @thisismissem yea lol. I looked into that awhile back and came to that conclusion. They haven't posted since February and have automated blocking.
