Awoo.fyi is apparently blocked on the fedifence.social block list and I am genuinely upset about this whole process and being slandered with no recourse. According to their rules:
> Who is on the blocklist?
>
> Mastodon service providers that knowingly host and deliver content that is categorised as:
>
> Racism or advocation of racism
> Sexism or advocation of sexism
> Discrimination against family status, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, native language, age, ability, race and/or ethnicity, caste, national origin, socioeconomic status, religion, geographic location, or any other dimension of diversity
> Xenophobia and/or violent nationalism
> Hateful terms, symbols, imagery, and shorthand
> False or misleading information that may cause or lead to harm
> Malware, DDoS, or exploit code intended to disrupt the network
The problem is that I am not knowingly doing any of this. The server itself is configured aggressively to flag offending materials for review, remove nasties from timeline etc. It even rejects posts that contain offensive racial slurs. I have asked my moderators and they haven’t had any notable content show up either for the last couple of days. The content being filtered and moderated out, which is much of the above is further illegal where the server is hosted.
We have an aggressive Terms of Service that pretty much disallows the content described above at https://awoo.fyi/about/tos
We produce regular transparency reports, which you can view from @Transparency or https://awoo.fyi/@Transparency
We have a public federation restriction list at https://awoo.fyi/federation_restrictions
I went through their process to get delisted, which was to visit their Github link and post an issue. If you check the attached screenshot, we did.
If you visit our issue, it has been removed or hidden with the entire repository at https://github.com/FediFence/fedifence/issues/12
I have included screenshot of the repository commits before I noticed it disappearing, see last screenshot for image.
What should I do?

@Ryle No one care about their dumb blocklist. If they want to isolate their self out of the #fediverse so be it.
A better alterative is the #UFoI
There are a lot of people who tilt at windmills lately.
There's also a lot of impatient people who expect instantaneous moderation without reporting.
