Hmm, still like this “trusted servers” idea.

@[email protected] “Fetch and merge blocklists” is not that simple.
If A trusts B and B trusts C, should a block in C really be merged via B to A even if A does not directly trust C?
Should automated blocks with no human control really destroy connections and remove content, or be limited to just a ‘suspend’?
If not implemented carefully, a single unfounded or malicious false block could easily snowball into isolating an entire instance.
Hand curated or majority-based shared blocklists already exist.
@[email protected] Oh absolutely, you’d need to be able to review any changes to server block lists, much like getting prompted when importing them manually.
The mock-up was mainly intended to illustrate handling of preview images for links, so I didn’t really elaborate on that.
