Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)? (beehaw.org)

So, until recently, I have been using https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/blob/master/hosts.txt

However, as some issues that I have opened have shown, there are a bunch of left wing and progressive sites on this list ( https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/issues ). I no longer think that it is trustworthy. Especially after reading some of the repo owners replies. Intentionally added was t.me which is a generic url for any telegram group. Discordapp.com was on it at one point.

Oy Vey. It's clear to me that the owner of this repo is not actually spending much time actually curating this list and instead it's just a shotgun approach. Does anyone know of a good alternative?

Doesn't it sound at least a little bit foolish to trust someone else to intentionally censor the politics of your internet? You're creating your own echo chamber.

How can you understand and disagree with the other side if you can't even read their content? I'm not even talking about hate groups, I'm talking basics like WikiLeaks and the NRA.

You put qanon on the same level as wikileaks?

Well both are suspected to be influenced by Russia, with the goal of undermining the west.

Name a major media outlet that hasn't been suspected to be influenced by Russia.

Nope. The linked list does. Check the URLs. WikiLeaks is blocked.
