If you're looking to score the latest in hot scam-tokens, sorry, I can't help you. This is a chain of blocks, specifically blocks for ActivityPub/OStatus instances.
This is a brief, machine-readable version of my long and documented [human-readable version](http://telegra.ph/Instances-to-silencesuspend-on-Mastodon-06-23).
If you're new to this list and the kinds of instances that get blocked from Mastodon, I recommend you check the [human-readable one](http://telegra.ph/Instances-to-silencesuspend-on-Mastodon-06-23) for all these instances first just so you know what you're doing and who you're blocking. I also try to explain what the reasons are below too because this JSON blocklist is structured a bit differently.
I'm not much of a programmer so I don't have any scripts to offer you that can automatically apply blocks on your Mastodon instance from this JSON file, but I assume it would probably be kind of simple to perform.
Each instance has a URL and a list of reasons as to why they are on the blocklist. I'm not that much of a programmer, but I assume you can use those to filter which instances you want to block.
These are the things that I personally have specific evidence of. These instances may be guilty of more things.
'A-' prefixes mean that the administration doesn't necessarily engage in, encourage, or endorse that behaviour themselves but they do enable it by letting users on their instance do it instead. Not all tags have A-prefixes, I'll mention which ones do.
Corporate advertising is enabled on this instance. There's a difference between personal and community announcements of things and straight-up corporate advertising. This is for the latter, not the former.
The reason I don't separate different kinds of bigotry is because it's extra work for no real purpose. One of these is bad enough, and if you're the kind of person to go 'well, I don't like people being mean to gays but I do think we should put all muslims on some kind of watch list' then this list isn't for you.
Consider this category as *FVZ-lite*. ie. People who spout shitty harmful things but aren't advocating for ethnostates or the subjugation of women. Bigotry is automatically assumed in FVZ.

This may not become a serious issue at the moment, but I think it could be a really important thing to keep an eye on for the future. I think that corporate ownership generally conflicts with the idea of social spaces as an emotionally supportive environment (how many of us left Twitter because it tolerates Nazis and doesn't have any real ethical or moral positions?).
They also conflict with the idea of intermingling, spaces with a cooperative relationship to each other (ie. our instances) - corporations expect to dominate 'markets', we provide services based on what we can afford to those who want and need them. I would say that our kind of social networking is potentially an existential threat to corporate social networking, and we shouldn't let them have an inch because they will take a mile. If they ever take an interest in decentralised social networking, they will only care about us insofar that we're good PR for them.
I'm not necessarily saying block these right now (I'm not apart from Pawoo, for other reasons), but I think keeping watch would be a good idea, especially if they become a thing in the West. They currently only seem to be a thing in Japan right now.

The reason they are all in one category is that the borders between each other are very fuzzy (they have great ideological similarities), organisations in these areas tend to be tightly related and connected to each other and one particular branch is often a gateway to another.
Not all of these instances necessarily have all of these things, and there is a spectrum to the volume of this content. But this shit is still ultimately toxic and not what you should be allowing if you want to make your instance safe and pleasant for people who aren't violent and have reasonable things to say.
Other people charitably call it 'channer culture' or call it by the way *they* frame it, which is ""free-speech zone"". I'd rather not label them on their own terms, especially when they don't actually give a shit about the free speech of trans people, queer people, black people, etc.
Sexualised depictions of minors. (While 'Lolicon' actually refers to a particular subset, westerners tend to use it to mean anything illustrated and under-age)
