Pitch

Blocklists exists.
However, blind importing is not great.

Allow admins to select a variety of Mastodon-compatible blocklist URLs that are regularly polled, and show the worst, not-yet-blocked offenders on the dashboard.
Optionally allow instances to be automatically blocked once a percentage threshold is achieved or passed, meaning an instance can say "if 70% of my source block an instance with the same type, block it here too", or "if 100% [...]"

Motivation

Projects like <thebad.space> existing shows a clear need for blocklist aggregation without automatic blocking because one list may block an instance without you considering them bad enough.
