He maintains a sensible allowlist, handles false positives quickly, and communicates known issues to blocklists maintainers. Hagezi builds his blocklists using many of the same original [sources](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/blob/main/sources.md) that feed into other popular lists like OISD and 1Hosts. He also adds his own unique sources, rather than just repackaging other combined blocklists. You may also wonder why other lists are not utilized. This is because many list maintainers: * do not remove [false positives](https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/false_positive) and/or are no longer active [1](https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts/issues/356) [2](https://github.com/EnergizedProtection/block/issues/916)
