Rather than talk in the abstract about whether consensus blocklists are good or bad, let's consider a specific example.

Let's suppose Georgia Tech wants to join the Fediverse. They want to start an instance at social.gatech.edu. ♥️

Georgia Tech has a student body of about 47K students. This includes the largest number of women engineering students in the US, and one of the largest Black engineering student bodies on Earth.

How does GT protect their students without consensus block lists?

@mekkaokereke Maybe having students on that instance is a bad idea. Not unlike professors posting their writing at university servers/accounts which disappear when they move to another college....
