With all the noise on lemmy, spam, and political content I have no interest in, the thought occurred to have blocklists similar to adblock lists. Has anyone looked into this before, is it already a thing? Any thoughts on that?

What about a way to check for updates to the blocklist from a URL, e.g. a file on github.
Doable, but the problem lies in distributing the Github link to pull / check.
If I hard code it, that wouldn’t work for a lot of people (different people block for different reasons, etc). If it’s a user option, you’d have to put the GitHub link in on every device (user settings are only saved locally).
Best case would be an option to either upload a JSON file or enter a URL to pull a JSON file.
I think it would need to be user configurable which list they want to subscribe to, possibly multiple lists. Maybe have categories of block lists.
