by the way instances which participate in transparency (right now Pleroma instances only) can use fediverse.network to find out what instances are believed to block yours.
we are working on extending transparency to the various Mastodon forks through NodeInfo. if you want to see transparency in Mastodon, get Gargron to add NodeInfo support today, as we're trying to have a mostly standardized reporting format.

it is the intention of the transparency group inside Pleroma to allow admins to use the transparency data to foster better intra-admin working relationships.
with the fediverse.network changes, admins can now discover when instances which participate in transparency have taken adverse actions against their own instance using the collected transparency data.
if you do not want to participate in transparency, you can disable it in your config file, but you will not get any benefits from the transparency data either, since you choose to not participate. you have to contribute your own transparency metrics in order to benefit from the transparency data.

to be absolutely clear: it is the intention of those working on fediverse-wide transparency to ensure that there is always a high quality opt-out or opt-in mechanism in each implementation. we are not interested in collecting data that is provided involuntarily.
