I don't. I just took a bunch of email addresses of spam accounts that I recently suspended and none of them are hits.
I can't use IP addresses. I don't collect them. A promise I make to those who sign up.
Have you found these services helpful?

#FediBlock
Here are 5 more Jimmy the Liar (who often goes by the name JimmyTruth), accounts opened in the past 24 hours now claiming to have been born in multiple cities at the same time.
It seems he's taking a break from claiming to be God's personal servant. Unsure what he's up to this time. But the homophobia, transphobia, and unkindness are sure to follow.
Apparently he's just a con man.
He's opened accounts on countless instances, and has been suspended on most of them, including mine.
I notice that .social already has all of these below suspended, except for the one on mastodon.cc, as of this moment:
@ J @ dizl.de
@ Jimmy @ mastodon.cc
@ J @ moris.social
@J @ friends.ravergram.club

I looked at some posts on shortstacksran, just a sampling, and I didn't see racism. I did see posts that, I thought, were inappropriate and walk the line, for reasons other than racism. I limited the server to keep their posts off the public timeline and prevent boosting. People are still free to create follow relationships (none here, anyway). If you see a racist post that the Admin won't act on, open a report.
It seems all the accounts I sampled are owned by low IQ people. But, unless I see evidence that the admin allows racism or allows the breaking of serious rules, I won't block them. I need strong proof before I block another server.
As for servers involved in AI because they might steal something, all servers, because they have people behind their accounts, might steal something. There's no rule here against servers that focus on AI if that's what they focus on. I didn't check anything on the server. And I am not against AI. I don't believe AI=evil.

I've decided to block linuxrocks.online after all. This conversation did it for me:
Q: Does your server welcome people who believe LGBT people don't deserve the same rights as non-LGBT people?
Do they also welcome people who believe that Jews don't deserve the same rights as non-Jews?
A: Yes, and Yes
In short order, bigots and hateful morons will be opening up accounts on linuxrocks.online as word gets out that they are welcome there.
The Admin hides under the "we allow unpopular opinions", but these are not opinions because they defy the evidence. They are just stupid statements that are meant to hurt people.

I'm convinced.
This did it for me:
Q: Does your server welcome people who believe LGBT people don't deserve the same rights as non-LGBT people?
Do they also welcome people who believe that Jews don't deserve the same rights as non-Jews?
A: Yes, and Yes.
My answer is Never and Never.
This means bigots and creeps will be running to his instance now to set up their homes for hating. His claim about unpopular opinions is bullshit. Statements that oppose facts are not opinions, they are just stupid, dangerous, hateful speech.
I am going to block linuxrocks.online

I just built and deployed the latest #Phanpy version to phanpy.hear-me.social
Phanpy is a remarkable UI alternative to the Mastodon web UI. I highly recommend you try it if you haven't done so.

That entire server is a collection of racist morons. I suspended annihilation.social a while ago.
