Developer is targeting individuals with a blacklist he maintians, enabled by default. Dev can do what he wants, but I’d like my home instance to consider removing it as a front end.

Yea I think some of this would work better as an automod or reporting tool.
I’ve played with Reddit’s automod, and even well designed automod regex tends to make lots of mistakes, and you need to slowly make adjustments to refine it.
Other parts of it should have been opt in, and ideally in a way that you can import any list. That would also help with the gaming issue, since a bad actor can’t look at one list and game it when people can be using any combination of blocklists. Similar to how ublock origin does it.
