@LinuxBSD Do you know how this list was compiled? There are several people in here that I am quite confident don't match the description you gave, so I'm wondering how it was created.

"A focused list of Fediverse accounts identified as participating in spam and scam activity — along with accounts that actively promote, defend, or amplify them."

@LinuxBSD Yes that's why I'm asking. There are accounts in here that I certainly wouldn't describe this way.

Was the list made based on links they posted to supposed scams? Boosts of posts that someone considers scams? Is there a particular definition of "scam" being used here? Did you make the list, or are you passing on something made by someone else?

I am interested in lists that help make the Fediverse a safer place, which is why I want to understand where this one came from - I want to understand where it came from and how it was created before I use it or recommend for anyone else to.
