I’m tired of supporting instances that support that trash. Are there any suggestions or even a good up-to-date list available?

Well, we can agree to disagree here but I do think this is a good idea ATM. When I see an account posting slop, seo spam or links to stuff that IMO shouldn’t exist in the first place, it’s always an account “registered today-ish”. They might change their MO with time but for now, even with requiring an application message, a new account is often a cat in a bag. Having this slow introduction makes it a bit harder to create harassment accounts in high volume
i’m not saying that it’s a bad idea per se, just that with the way the score is calculated you can become trusted in less than a second if you’re a bot while humans can take like a week.
Even with positive score you’d still be under new account timer. Personally I feel that this score means much less than many make out of it
it was the fact that it was undisclosed that was the main issue. i imagine most people assume that when there’s a public scoring system, posts with high scores are trustworthy (or to put my finger on it, aligned with the prevailing opinion) and posts with low scores are not. finding out that no, actually some users’ experience is weighted according to the whim of, in their mind, just some guy, suddenly the whole concept of trust (alignment) on the platform goes out the window.
