Blocked instances in Vivaldi Social

Which instances are blocked in Vivaldi Social?
In a post by @Ruarí one was mentioned and it is also blocked.
Unfortunately this information is not publicly available under About --> Moderated Servers.
I would be happy to get this information transparently. -
@mottenmouse Seconded! Would be good to know.

If practical: Might be good to let the user control what instances are blocked. In other words: Give the user the option of using a personal blocklist, instead of accepting Vivaldi Social's default blocklist.

@Eggcorn You already have the individual options of not seeing specific users using mute and block.
You can also block entire domains (instances) on the "Federated Timeline" and "Explore".
Use the ... (More) and voilà, it works perfectly. Therefore, I see no need for any action.However, my problem is which instances are blocked by Vivaldi Social by default.

@mottenmouse Good, but can you unblock instances that are blocked on Vivaldi Social by default?
-
@Eggcorn Good question! Based on my modest level of knowledge, I would say no.
I'm afraid you won't get an answer here on the forum. The best thing to do is to ask the administrators directly at

Listing blocked instances seems to be disallowed. AFAIK this is pretty common practice on Mastodon instances.
$ curl -I "https://social.vivaldi.net/api/v2/instance/domain_block" HTTP/2 404But you can get a list of all federated instances it knows about:
$ curl -s "https://social.vivaldi.net/api/v1/instance/peers" | grep -o "mastodon.sdf.org" mastodon.sdf.orgSo just grep for the ones you're interested in knowing is federated or not
