I have reported a sample to:
drumstodon.net (resolved)
ohai.social (resolved)
mas.to (resolved)
mastodon.social (resolved)
troet.cafe (resolved)
universeodon.com (resolved)
Moderators should also block the following e-mail domain:

Scripts to identify abandoned versions of Mastodon and push a blocklist, or automatically manage using ready-made blocklists: codeberg.org/GunChleoc/mastodo…

- New dependency `validators`
- Make idna domain names human readable and strip blank space
- Change script location (see link above) & rename sample files
