I couldn’t find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

    considering they are basically required to filter out the bad faith content without engaging with it.

    Well there’s where the hexbear magic happens. If we see bad faith content it’s basically open seasons to very vocally inform the poster how bad faith their post is.

      I could imagine that this often leads to harassment. Are there any measures in place to prevent that?

        If by harassment you mean getting piled on for the bad faith take, then no there’s nothing except the offenders self-crit to prevent that.

        If by harassment you mean a user that posted a bad take getting followed and dragged in other threads, then yes. Mods take action to prevent that. Everyone has a right to disengage at HB
