Anyone got an API endpoint of the "most blocked instances" handy? I wanna add it to the initialization flow for the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox
Ideally it'd be nice to say "Here's the top 100 most hated instances so you can preemptively block them if you'd like". It's not perfect but I think this would make it easier for small publishers to get started.
@mauve right, while I agree it would be useful, this kind of thing doesn't exist for a few reasons. one, as you found, bad instances like to track who have blocked them, either as a kind of high score or for retaliation. two, collecting such statistics would require instances to disclose their block lists in a machine-readable format, which plenty do not do and are not willing to do.
