        Mostly, it will be instances blocking troll and hate instances. But the line of what is acceptable varies from one instance/admin to another. The instances on the top of this list most likely just have a lower threshold for tolerating shitty behaviour

          It might not necessarily be that the instances are stricter, it could also simply be that those instances are targeted more often by hate/trolls so interact with those instances more often. Admins are less likely to defederate from an instance they’ve never seen or heard of. I see a lot of obviously LGBT-related names in this list which likely get more hate than average.
