# Oliphant.Social Shared Blocklist Files
|
||
|
||
**Now an aggregator**
|
||
|
||
This repo is now producing only an aggregated Tier 0 file as a combination of Seirdy's Tier 0, Gardenfence, and the IFTAS DNI list. Other high-consensus or curated "tier 0" files might be added in the future.
|
||
|
||
Note that there is no longer any kind of threshold algorithm or trusted council involved: that is handled by the source lists themselves, each of which provide their own high threshold for consensus.
|
||

||
|
||
See `RUNNING.md` for more information on running the scripts in this repo to generate these blocklists yourself, to modify the sources, or push the blocks to a server you control. You are encouraged to fork this repo, create your own versions of these scripts, and push up your own blocklist files, or use this simply to keep a server in sync with blocklist updates.
|
||
|
||
This folder contains scripts to generate the blocklist files. See the `blocklists` folder for blocklist files.

If you're pulling down the repo instead of downloading files directly, you can use `git remote set-url` to switch locations if needed.
|
||
|
||
## How Often are the Lists Updated?
|
||
|
||
On the hour, every hour, so long as there have been changes from one of the blocklist sources.
|
||
|
||
## Fair Use and Context for Blocklists
|
||
|
||
Blocklists are provided in the public interest and for server admins who maintain a legitimate interest in performing the normal daily operation of their server, which includes [active moderation](https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), review of potential sources of harm or even just places viewed with caution due to unsafe or lax moderation practices.
|
||
|
||
Everyone argues about where to draw this line. That's the whole point of providing multiple sources here (and I'll provide others if they opt in). Ideally, you will pull in a blocklist from other sources you trust. That may be one of these sources, a merged version of the different lists, or you may use it for reference.
|
||
|
||
There are several non-standard use cases as well:
|
||
|
||
* “Hmm...I’m on the fence about this domain. Oh look, it’s in this blocklist too; let me ask them about it.”
|
||
* “I’ve imported a large blocklist, but I’m unsure about some entries. They’re tier-3 entries but not tier-2 or tier-1; I think I’ll downgrade them from suspend to something less severe.”
|
||
* “Someone sent me a follow-request, and I see they’re a new user from a tier-zero domain; I think I’ll decline.”
|
||
|
||
Ultimately, how a list is used is up to you.
|
||
|
||
It's assumed you're a rational person and can deal with what we hope are small disagreements with some of the entries on the list.
|
||
|
||
It's also assumed you're capable of *not importing certain lines* or just editing the file as necessary. Use it as a basis to create your shared blocklist file.
|
||
|
||
Or... decide you do not want to use it at all.
