About this denylist
The Do Not Interact List is an IFTAS-curated list of domains that are highly recommended for defederation. Each domain is labelled using a shared vocabulary label. Each domain is investigated by human review for governance, common content, network and service activities, hosting location and more.
The DNI list is available as a default option in the following platforms:
Inclusion on this list means we believe:
- Federating with this domain poses significant risk to your service, and
- We are extremely unlikely to ever retract an entry.
In all cases we strongly recommend you use a Federation Policy to aid you in your decision making.
