Big changes to the Oliphant blocklists, via @oliphant

oliphant.social/@oliphant/1121…

Summary:

  • A revised Tier0 list (based on @Seirdy's Tier0 list, @gardenfence and the @iftas DNI list)
  • Other lists going away
  • git archives of blocklists from .social and other sites Oliphant used to use also going away

And interesting:

"You should still be able to use the Tier 0 Oliphant list and get a respectable list of blocks, though you'll notice certain more contentious entries like qoto and threads won't be on that list anymore"

Looks like at least one corner of the fedvierse is welcoming our new surveillance capitalism overlords!

“Looks like at least one corner of the fedvierse is welcoming our new surveillance capitalism overlords!”

That’s a pretty disingenuous take.

I have 5 sources, down from 10. Should I maintain a list populated by only 5 sources just to keep threads on the list?

Anyway… if Threads shows up on Seirdy’s list or Gardenfence it will show up on mine. It’s not on theirs currently, which is why it’s going to drop off the list.

I have s separate list for corporate social media, including Threads. i should probably update the list.
