Are there any plans for a Block Party type initiative (see link for details) to assist with moderating Threads (and others)?

One of the most difficult problems for instances which do federate with Threads (full support for both them and the Fedipact) is the lack of moderation and very large number of bad actors on Threads. The ability to share block lists and automatically apply certain types of block would help a lot. Does anything like this already exist, or is anyone working on it?
I would love shared block lists for Lemmy!
For my alt account from where I browse NSFW content, I would prefer to mass block any self-promotional Onlyfans type content. The spamming of OF creators to every NSFW subreddit was one of my biggest gripes about browsing porn on Reddit. It's slowly starting here on Lemmy too.
I'm aware of the "Hide bots" and "Hide NSFW" settings, but they're too coarse-grained for this purpose.
When you say that there's a "very large number of bad actors on Threads", where are you getting your numbers from?
Far-right figures, including Nazi supporters, anti-gay extremists, and white supremacists, are flocking to Threads
