Just thought I’d note this. Main beneficiary so far seems to be piefed.ca.

    Not block. Just karma-devalue. I’m gonna rename the variable to something like “unwanted reputation sources”. If an admin doesn’t want people farming rep by posting porn, they can put porn on the list. That’s not blocking, it’s just a data filter for admin eyes only.

      So there are two purposes for this “bad list”

      • for filtering which communities to federate with in the beginning
      • to calculate user reputation score

      correct?

      The federation filtering is blocking IMO. It affects what comms users of the instance can find (via search).

      Anyway maybe in Your PR You should make a separately configurable list for each purpose. I don’t see a reason why it should be the same list.
