These "algorithmic" block-lists don't make any sense because instances that Mastodon (​​), collectively, blocks, aren't blocked independently based on reason.

Rather, a singular Mastodon instance will publicly block an instance, and, thereafter, said instance will become communally blocked by Mastodon entirely solely due to being included on that original block.

These "algorithmic" block-lists are a pointless and inoperable "improvement" to the #fediblock process as, given enough time, any instance that gets added to a single block-list will inevitable become blocked thereafter by so many other Mastodon instances as to cross the threshold, or "event horizon", for inclusion on these larger "algorithmic" block-lists (like "Oliphant", e.g.). ---So, it doesn't even matter. It's a song and a dance, nothing more.

The problem with block-lists are the very existence of block-lists. There is no room for "improving" or "fixing" this process outside of complete abolishment and rejection by the community of #fediblock, the internet-cop culture surrounding it, and the mechanisms that enable it.
