Very effective at... what? I mean, they seem to not be able to tell the difference between a legit mastodon instance and a phishing site, so why would they suddenly be able to tell if it effectively blocked a site that was actually malicious? Yes, blocking sites on a blocklist works very well. Whether those sites are legit or not doesnt matter at that point, to them, as they assume they all are malicious. Do you see what I mean?
