A site called Mastinator (https://mastinator.com) has started aggregating and republishing toots without permission. It creates accounts with your handle and follows you to get your toots (e.g., @aral@mastinator.com, which, just to make clear, is not me).
Someone has apparently written open-source software to circumvent fediblocks by "woke" instance admins (I kid you not -- they're unironically using that term).
The only domain we currently know of providing this service is activitypub-proxy.cf, but I'd expect more to pop up.
We may need a tool to periodically scan federated domains for heavy subdomain usage that could be this software in use.
Anyway, thought everyone should know.

social.nobodyhasthe.biz for a while, but it turns out they opened a whole plethora of instances at pleroma.nobodyhasthebiz.biz, audio.nobodyhasthe.biz, video.nobodyhasthe.biz. pixel.nobodyhasthe.biz and write.nobodyhasthe.biz with the same anti-Semitic theme.Updating my block recommendation to
*.nobodyhasthe.biz.

UFoI
Some agree and try to help, try to build something that might indeed be necessary: a means to stop bad players to block instances trough the propagation of lies.
Others prefer to criticise without helping in any way and based, again, on lies.
You are all invited to join! You can change what you thing is wrong! You can help everyone building a better Fediverse, one based on facts and truth! A more democratic one! That's the main goal of UFoI!
Have you read anything at all? You know, you can join and leave at any time! You can contribute! And you can disagree! And block anyone if you see fit! That's what freedom stands for and that's what the UFoI stands for!
Try, for a change, to build something positive like the founders of The Fediverse have been doing since 2008!

iddqd.social for anti-Semitism, promoting *chan content and general trolling.Admin has alts on
social.wideboys.org and we.1being.org which are good candidates for your server block list in the same vein.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.
I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.
#mastoadmin #fediblock
*.activitypub-troll.cf for spam.They aren't even shy about it, beyond the obvious domain name, the JavaScript code simulating arbitrary ActivityPub servers from a catch-all DNS domain is voluntarily exposed in the root domain.
friendica.mrpetovan.com for "Reply-Guying".This will save me some trouble, thank you in advance.
It is with a heavy heart that I, too, recommend to preventively block the QOTO instance. I've had a rather unpleasant chat with the administrator this morning about why they are on so many block lists already, and let's say he didn't honor the very motto of the server he's running, Question Others to Teach Ourselves.
It is a classic case of well-meaning person getting defensive when criticized. By refusing to block nasty remote instances, he opened himself to very sketchy associations, even if involuntarily. But not acknowledging the problem once informed about it is where the buck stops for me.

Seeing some posts talking about fediblocking turning Mastodon into a "filter bubble." No. We absolutely do not need abusive or fascist views to have a high level of intellectual diversity. Full stop. That hate can fester somewhere else.
After 20 years of social media, the experiment has been run. Hateful people are unconvinced by rational argument, so there's no point engaging with them.
This is a rotten, disingenuous, meritless argument, from A to Z.
Fascism is to be defeated, not debated.
Due to popular demand, I’ve decided to also offer this blocklist in json format. This will allow integrating the blocklist into automated systems, available here: https://gleasonator.com/instance/blocklist.json
Thanks for keeping the Fediverse free of #hate. Stay safe, everyone! #fediblock

In order to keep the Fediverse a safe and friendly environment free of hate, we’ve published a blocklist. We recommend everyone block this list of servers. Thank you.https://gleasonator.com/instance/blocklist.txt
I see some complete nonsense under the #fediblock hashtag for example. Someone using the dictionary definition of a common word; an instance stating that they are pro privacy and free speech (but do forbid harassment). Things that merely trip up some overeager zealot's taste buds really.
Be very careful with using someone else's block list instead of creating your own!
The following instance(s) have been suspended from Ten Forward:
vuju.com - yet another """free speech""" zone running Soapbox
calobar.club - racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism

#fediblock
There's a rift on the Fediverse with two sides: free speech and pro-censorship. The two sides are normally disconnected due to the pro-censorship side coordinating blocks with #fediblock. We call it "The Great Wall of Mastodon." I am also blocked.
I think what's happening right now is culture shock. Your server is federating with both sides, and people are trying to bully you into one side. But if you stick it out, it would help heal the divide on the Fediverse.
I spoke more about the divide here: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-69-fediverse-follies-with-alex-gleason/
cum.salon for offensive provocation, edge lordism and trolling. Their admin isn’t even that good at it.

From the same thread there also seems to be fake
masto.host domains flying around, but a domain pattern block would affect legitimate servers.
chudbuds.lol for run-of-the-mill alt-right content (racism, antisemitism, white supremacy, trolling)
@Love is bullying me because his copy of my joke is better than my original
marsey.club for transphobiaExcerpt from the About page:
Avoid creating trans gimmick accounts and "trolling" for (You)'s, we already have 5 and it's not really funny
It's a nazi harassment instance along the lines of poast or kiwifarms #fediblock
rcsocial.net
for Christian supremacism, including but not limited to antisemitism and anti-abortion.
