Pretty much, some of the instances are whitelist only, so they block all instances and the administrator/users shop around for other instances to whitelist and contact the said instances to whitelist them also.
Yeah, this way the troll instances can create all of the instances they want, but they can’t just butt themselves into a whitelist only federated network.
It’s probably easier to go about it the other way around, rather than finding a list to block, why not make a list to whitelist? This way, you can shop around for instances that have solid policy and moderation practices and just whitelist those, if you regularly curate the list, you can get some pretty solid networking effect going.
I don’t know why other replies to you are treating this like a hard question… If we’re talking Mastodon, every instance has an about section that lists all the sites they block.
As far as I know such instances already exist, they get blocked by every instance that doesn’t tolerate hate speech.

That sounds like a pretty good way to do it.

It’d be nice to have a list of these sites so one can find out who they may want to block. Know any?

I’m not aware of such a list.
