    This is disappointing. A list of scammers could've been useful, but a list of people who inconvenienced the list maintainer is not.

    Therefore, I do not recommend using Linux is Best's list.

    Update: For making this post, despite being as neutral as I can be, I have been added to the list.

    gitlab.com/Fediverse-Express/F

    gitflic.ru/project/fediverse-e

    Needless to say, I am neither a scammer nor a spammer nor a defender thereof.

    I'll say it again: don't use this list! If you do, you'll be blocking any number of innocent people.

    @argv_minus_one @LinuxBSD Oh, my excuses, it was a morning and I was a bit snarky :drgn_sigh:

    I checked @LinuxBSD list with my personal list of banned accounts - there are a lot of spam accounts, writing tons of messages about "hi, I'm from Gaza, plz send money" - and both lists has intersections.

    @LinuxBSD thanks for you list, I'll import it since I'm also tired of watching unwanted toots in the middle of threads about IT and BSD.

    Anyway, as I wrote before, I recommend not to use gitflic.ru. I read that your repo was banned on the CodeBerg and I understand that any big and famous GitHub-like site will ban anything that is not matching with current agenda.

    Anyway, I recommend to selfhost (e.g. Forgejo) since it is not so easy to take down the domain name and a server in the closet. The state of Internet connectivity in the Russia is basically a shit nowadays. If^Wwhen the Internet-blackout (like in the Iran) will be started, then you will loss access to your git repos. For now, a lot of "foreign" IP addresses and networks are banned within residental ISPs and even for datacenters by FSB - because people host some kind of censorship-evasion software on these addresses and networks - so, I think, the site you are using nowadays already may have problems with connectivity, if you connects from outside Russia.

    @evgandr

    I am glad you find my list useful. You're not the only one — there are many.

    The big problem here on the Fedi is that it reminds me of the historical build-up to World War II. Before things turned violent in Germany, but when the climate was already bad, people were too fearful to speak the truth out of fear of retaliation.

    On the Fediverse, I receive many messages from people acknowledging that the scam group, gaza "verified," is spammy and scammy. But it has become "taboo" to say that out loud because the group has 357 members, plus their dummy accounts and friends, who are never shy about attacking people or dog-piling on them.

    They've weaponized!

    So, of course, I am going to include the individuals who also promote them, share their spam, and defend them. If you don't want the spam, why would anyone want the people sharing the spam and defending the spam. It is the logical choice!

    It is laughable that they claim that's crossing a line.

    I use FediLab too (see URL). If I have to self-host this in the future, I may.

    @argv_minus_one That surprised me a lot — Mastodon doesn't warns user if imported list will ban a (mutual) followers :drgn_lurk_nervous:

    I remember, when I ban a whole instance, then UI shows (showed?) a big warning that I'm about to ban some followers (even non-mutual) from this instance too. Don't know why the same mechanism wasn't applied to ban-list import procedure :drgn_think_confused:

    So, I was forced to manually check at near 1500 records, fuck :drgn_sigh:
