Interesting. Maybe you don't want us to know who "we", are so that you become a big server, and as such bad for the ecosystem, but who are "we" exactly?
Would you also know if it's commonplace for instances to deny by default, and then use whitelisting?

The fringe-er instances are more likely to block by default. It's almost an issue of fediverse fundamentalism. A lot of people think large instances like .social are antithetical to what mastodon is trying to accomplish. We have huge, enormous centralized servers in the middle of a decentralized network. I think you can see how that sentiment would come about
