npub1ttkqmpglj0t5h5r3t4xj5sdl7vezj03k7rp42h4jqkxlwsrgc0qqxfx6r5 (npub1ttk…x6r5) we are mostly in agreement about needing a good block list for most new servers..
What gets me is the very low quality choices on the council, nonrequirement for receipts or any way for users to effectively research blocks, and the fact that notorious instances like rage.love known to lie and manipulate to encoirage their block list on others, makes for a bad aggregate list.
Getting 50 servers on the council could potentially address the server, but if a list of 50 servers has the same poor quality members as the 10 you have now then you will have the same problem.
I think if you want to solve the problem then the solution is not to simply have more servers on the council but rather have criteria for what servers can be on the council. Id rather have 3 server council that has well maintained receipts and transparency around their receipt process than 100 servers all hand picked to look like rage.love with few receipts and a bad reputation for abusing their block list.
The best solution is to build a receipts database and ensure any participating server must have receipts on a block throuvh the receipts server in order for the bloxk to be calculated at all. At least then users of thr blocklist will have the tools to do their own due dilligance
