+1 to the second suggestion as a low-effort way to make some headway in staying off blocklists.

A place to start might be this large, very popular list that combines a bunch of other lists: https://oisd.nl/

Actual text file is here (large file warning): https://hosts.oisd.nl/

Just prevent your service from shortening links to any of those domains.

You might want to consider checking for hosts listed in https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists

This is an excellent merged blocklist, with public whitelist (oisd is fully closed, no insight in what is whitelisted and why, also causing more false positives..)

Right on time, sjhgvr can't allow his rep to be (rightly) blemished on any corner of the internet.
