I stumbled across a Reddit bot posting emotional rants about how bots are ruining Reddit; just to sell AI-generated books through affiliate links. A perfectly dystopian grift for the dead internet.

      Any sites that give me a list of what an instance has blocked or not blocked? To pick an instance

          hexbear itself defed from some instances in the past, instead of hexbear beehaw would be more fitting

          Oh, and, hexbear is politically oriented left unity focused Anti-West stance instance

              I highly doubt there’s something like that like said. But for OP’s purpose that link should be good enough to compare some of the instances they’re interested in.

          Seems to suggest there are only 9 defederated from Aussie.zone out of 1600?

            There are also some instances with hidden blocklists. You can check them there as well.
