<h2 id="what">What Is The Bad Space?</h2>
<p>The Bad Space project was born from a need to effectively identify instances that house bad actors and are poorly moderated, which puts marginalized communities at risk.
</p>
<p>
It is an extension of the
<strong>#fediblock</strong>
hashtag created by
<a href="https://www.artistmarciax.com/" target="_new">Artist Marcia X</a>,
with additional support from
<a href="https://digital.rooting.garden" target="_new">Ginger</a>,
to provide a catalog of instances that seek to cause harm and reduce the quality of experience in the fediverse.
</p>
<p>
Technical support provided by
<a href="https://roiskinda.cool/profile.html" target="_new">Ro</a>.
</p>
<h2 id="how">How Does It Work?</h2>
<p>The Bad Space is a collaboration of instances committed to actively moderating against racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, casteism, and religion.</p>
<p>These instances have permitted The Bad Space to read their respective blocklists to create a composite directory of sites tagged for the behavior above that can be searched and, through a public API, can be integrated into external services.</p>
<p><strong>Current Sources:</strong></p>
Mastodon:<br />
@foreach($sources as $source)
@if($source->format == 'json')
<a href="https://{{$source->url}}">{{$source->url}}</a><br />
@endif
@endforeach<br />
Custom CSV:<br />
@foreach($sources as $source)
@if($source->format == 'csv')
<a href="{{$source->url}}">{{$source->url}}</a><br />
@endif
@endforeach
<h2>How Do I Use It?</h2>
<p>
The Bad Space is meant to be a resource for anyone looking to improve the quality of their online experience by creating a tool that catalogs sources for harassment and abuse. There are several options for how it can be used.
<h3>Search</h3>
To see if an instance is listed in the database, use the
<a href="/">search feature</a>
to search for its URL. If it is in the database, information for that instance will be returned and include associated instances, if applicable.
<h3>CSV Exports</h3>
For a list of the current instances being tracked, click on one of the links below to download a dynamically generated CSV file that can be consumed as a blocklist. More formats will be added over time.
<br /><br />
<a href="/exports/mastodon">For Mastodon</a>
<h3>API</h3>
The Bad Space has a public API that can be used to search the database programatically and return results in the JSON format. The API can be accessed at<br />
<code>https://thebad.space/api/v1/search</code>
by posting a JSON object with the following format:
<code>{"url":"search.url"}</code><br /><br />
Data from API requests will be returned in the following format:<br />
<pre>
<code>{
"listingCount":1,
"locations":
[
{
"url":"search.url",
"name":"Instance Name",
"description":"instance description",
"link":"bad-space-instance-link"
}
]
}</code>
</pre>
