It would good to know which sites are blocked to post links from and the reason they are blocked.

This would depend on your specific piefed instance.

Thank you but this is a list of blocked instances. I am looking for blocked websites like kotaku.

FYI I have unbanned kotaku.com now. Unlike most ban type actions we don't record the reason a domain is banned so I don't remember why it was.

Kotaku was not much a surprise to me, since I have heard lots of negative stuff about them. I used it here as an example. Most websites on the list are easy to figure out why they were banned from url name alone. https://nichegamer.com/ was the one which I do not know why it was banned.

I also think there is a block on blogspot domains. We are planning on removing that, but it will take a bit of coding to happen.

Tbh I'm just amazed blogspot is still running

Acquired by Google in 2003. That almost makes it even more remarkable.

During initial setup, PieFed downloads the latest version of https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon and blocks all of those. Admins can un-block any of them if they want to, they're not hardcoded.

These seem fair to block.
