Gregory's Server@JonnyT @darius admittedly I don’t know much about the abuse of it but I feel like there are a lot of good uses for it that aren’t abusive, especially if it’s a private list. If someone is sharing a list around for abuse, then banning them or their instance seems like a suitable solution. Same as someone inciting mobs via retoots or quote toots. I think there are already 3rd party tools for tracking lists, and a spreadsheet or custom software would do it too.

@poswald @darius The abuse vector is that vile people can create lists to export and share among themselves, to make it easier to target specific people for pile-ons - happened a lot on Twitter. If you can't be added to lists without being followed, and you also lock your account to require a review before someone can follow you, you can better prevent that from being an attack mechanism.
