This seems neat, so I thought I would share it. It applies the web of trust model to the fediverse. It has the benefits of a shared blocklist without all the horrible chaos-inducing downsides since it's built on mutual trust or distrust rather than centralized curation.
I don't know how well it'll work, but if you've been tuned into the fediverse meta over the last month or so, you know the existing system of big, shared blocklists populated from actions by a few large Mastodon instances with aggressive and questionable blocking policies isn't working for anyone.
