There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

I see where this can be useful, but is this list categorized or at least indicate why a certain instance was added?

It’s different blocking an instance for simply repeated toxic behavior vs political leanings. Sometimes an instance can have both.

Letting new admins know and select categories/tags to block or let through could be an improvement, if it isn’t there already:

  • NSFW (sometimes people want a SFW site, like browsing at work)
  • NSFL (porn might be okay but not everyone have fond memories of ogrish.com and likes)
  • Illegal in X jurisdiction (e.g. CSAM)
  • Far right or far left
  • Repeated instances of troll / spam bot accounts
  • Abandoned by admin
