@stefan@stefanbohacek.online "Fetch and merge blocklists" is not that simple.

If A trusts B and B trusts C, should a block in C really be merged via B to A even if A does not directly trust C?

Should automated blocks with no human control really destroy connections and remove content, or be limited to just a 'suspend'?

If not implemented carefully, a single unfounded or malicious false block could easily snowball into isolating an entire instance.

Hand curated or majority-based shared blocklists already exist.

@defnull@chaos.social Oh absolutely, you'd need to be able to review any changes to server block lists, much like getting prompted when importing them manually.

The mock-up was mainly intended to illustrate handling of preview images for links, so I didn't really elaborate on that.

How disappointing.

For the record, Lemmy doesn't have the issue with previews that Mastodon does as it doesn't generate previews (see for example https://lemmy.world/post/19809052 for an example of preview-free link sharing ).

Mbin and pyfedi seem to load an image of a link in a post, so they might have the problem (see for example https://fedia.io/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/1217141/ISPs-tell-Supreme-Court-they-don-t-want-to-disconnect-users ). I'll see if I can update my person pyfedi instance to stop doing these kind of previews...
