These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

Idk, I think it's just kinda cringe honestly to be this overly-cautious on a relatively unknown forum no one cares about but fair enough, it's on the admins, it's their decision and their space, I won't respect them for that decision, though.

Fwiw to clarify, I did not link to DNMs and vendors and give instructions on the specifics of where and how to acquire illicit drugs, which is where for instance the issue becomes rule-breaking on places like /r/Drugs or /r/TransDIY, presumably to align with where it becomes legally troublesome, and used that as a baseline.

I don't agree with the determination either, and I definitely wouldn't run my own community that way

But I'm also a community admin elsewhere and have been doing that kind of stuff for like 25 years or something.

So I don't really begrudge any admin for deciding what things are off-limits for their community. It's up to me whether I participate there or not

Fair!
