quakers.social shows up on our list of blocked instances, but looking at the most recent posts at https://quakers.social/public/local I can’t see why. They seem like a harmless group with a lot of religious reposts. Does sh.itjust.works have a policy of reciprocal blocking or something like that?

    At one time they had open registrations, so spammers were taking advantage and setting up shop there. It looks like the instance now has a sign-up application. I have unblocked them. Thanks for noticing!

    This is a good opportunity to remind users about our Fediseer profile: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/sh.itjust.works
    We try to keep our Censures list on Fediseer up to date with the sh.itjust.works instance blocklist. That way we can leave notes in Fediseer explaining why each instance is blocked.

      Thank you! I don’t even plan to subscribe to any of their content, but they stuck out in a sea of instances that sounded like Canadian legal problems waiting to happen.

      Yea, I think it was blocked even before our time. Anyway, if it’s no longer a spamfest, then sure it makes sense to unblock them.
