This is for lemmy byw

In my opinion, probably yes. If that information being made public is likely to make people feel uncomfortable, then its probably unethical.
Unless they were contacted and gave their consent. That's a lot of unpaid work tho.

I don’t block instances.
I tend to block instances that block me, because I find it annoying to see an instance on the front page that I'm expected to look at but not allowed to interact with.
You're getting blocked from entire instances?
-
Like in how many of their users block instance x
Yes, they own the literal servers you're on. Obviously they can see everything. Just like the admins of any other website in the world.

If it wasn't the whole instance, it was one mod on a bunch of subs adding me to communities I'd never visited.

On which account? Not the one you're posting from
Edit: oh, or maybe your modlog just didn't federate back far enough
-
Oh right, I just outright blocked these instances lol
-
I mean, it's free and probably faster to just make an extra account that you don't use at work if that's your only issue
Well, yeah, but I’m not going to talk openly about my porn account
-
I just disabled all NSFW stuff
Unfortunately, there's a lot of NSFW that's not porn that I do want to see. Typically just some text.
On the other hand, spam bots seem to always mark their posts NSFW for some reason.

Job 1: block all the anime comms.
Yeah, yes that’s great, over there please. Thank you. Over there.
Christ there’s so many. . .

No way, the admin of a site can see stuff?

Yes, indeed that’s a lot of work. My block list is looooooooooooooong.

Since Lemmy is part of the Fediverse (public), I just figured everything was public such as votes and blocks.
-
Can they see blocks of individual users? Can we get a top 10 most blocked, unbanned users?
Yes, you can see it in action here: https://feddit.uk/post/32410792

lemmy.world federates nsfw instances?

Oh, I was hoping it would be one of the spicier posters.

Would it be unethical to publish some novel stats that wouldn't be available to users?
Not only do I believe this to be ethical, but I demand a ticker on the top of every page that alerts us every time someone blocks something. Imagine just seeing "Rickyrigatoni@retrolemmy.com has blocked rickyrigatoni@lemmy.ml" five hundred times because I keep blocking and unblocking my alts to annoy the entire fediverse. My utopia...
