🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱<p>So I found this cool new tool that looks like a very new take on the idea of a blocklist, not really sure I can even call it a block list.</p><p><a href="https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/qoto.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gui.fediseer.com/instances/det</span><span class="invisible">ail/qoto.org</span></a></p><p>As I understand it it does a few things: </p><p>1) Only system administrators can get accounts, but users can view the data</p><p>2) a chain of trust which in and of itself only proves you arent a spammer. Anyone in the chain of trust can add other instances. Once an instance is in the chain then their admin can get an account and contribute</p><p>3) an instance in the chain of trust can add up to 20 other instances to the chain of trust. Should the instance loose their trust from their parent then the entire chain breaks including instances it trusted.</p><p>4) You can add endorsements.. this is stronger than adding someone to the chain of trust. It is a way of you saying "this is a good server" and explaining what features make them a server you endorce</p><p>5) You can censure instances too, these are instances you block and give reasons why.</p><p>6) there are also lesser categories like hesitations where you can list concerns but not suggesting blocking.</p><p>7) All this can be automatically populated from your instances black/white list if you wish. Or you can add entries manually</p><p>8) you get a little badge you can put on your servers about me that shows the number of endorsements you have live.</p><p>I do highly encourage everyone to check it out.</p><p><a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastoadmin</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Fedivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fedivers</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moderation</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/moderating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moderating</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/fediblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediblock</span></a></p>
