I guess what I'm unclear on is, if there isn't a reputation feature or some kind of third-party ranking, how do you learn that sites are nazi sites without having to review each of them individually and wade through their shit?
Or if it really is that each server operator has to maintain their own blacklist, how does this scale?
I think server instances publish their blacklists and you just copy the blacklist of a server you trust for old known problems, then word of mouth gets around for new ones.
Probably doesn't scale that well, but twitter blocking didn't scale thaaaat well either, not without catching a ton of people in automated blocklists they had no reason to be on
