Notice the disparity between monthly active users and registered users. These are bots. I'm very tempted to block these instances outright.
Just block them. going to have to with the number of bots on it.
How can a user block instances?
Might be necessary. I don’t see any good coming from hundreds of thousands of bots.
while you're at. take a look at what instances beehaw has blocked. they might be crazy, but they aren't that crazy. nobody needs to be federated with pleroma instances with something like 30 nazis on them and nobody else (3/4 or more of this software)
