Last night, after a tip-off, I decided to start checking out the instances federated with BSD Cafe. I came across some truly appalling instances, featuring horrible images and content that could end up on our timeline. As a result, I've begun integrating some blocklists into BSD Cafe, taking a gradual approach to avoid going overboard with the blocks.
This has led to the immediate removal of over 10 followers from my profile—potentially good folks, but from highly questionable instances. I can't stand by as BSD Cafe gets tainted with such materials.
Friends of the Fediverse, choose your instances wisely. It will ensure a far better experience for everyone.
