#FediBlock

I plan on making some changes to how the Garden Fence blocklist is generated going forward.

- The blocklist is now a strict subset of the sunny.garden blocklist, which is filtered down using a list of reference servers to help determine widespread relevance. In practice, this has already been the case for almost a year, but it is now specifically documented and enforced.

- The list of reference (or "bias") servers is no longer published. Some servers were recently removed from the list, and I expect to adjust the list more often going forward. The list is now more of a practical tool for filtering than a source of declared endorsement.

I don't expect any significant changes to the contents of the blocklist in the short term as a result of these changes, as they were, in practice, largely already the case.

I hope to spend some time improving my scripts somewhat to help manage the update and review process.

Retraction: ursal.zone

ursal.zone was briefly included on the Garden Fence blocklist between April 5, 2023 and May 7, 2023 when it was removed after a review as not meeting the criteria for inclusion.

I would encourage admins who may have imported this (or other) blocklists during that time to review whether they currently have ursal.zone suspended and make a decision on whether or not to keep that block.

The Garden Fence Blocklist is a basic, general purpose blocklist provided as a simple starting point for Mastodon server admins.

Goals of the list include simplicity, transparency, good coverage of the "worst of the worst", and minimal false positives.

More information on how the list is created, or how to use it, can be found at https://gardenfence.github.io/
