No. It's not an automated whitelist, it's an automated blacklist (for some). If you want to avoid getting blocked, nothing has changed - don't spam, don't post illegal stuff. And if your instance starts spamming, be responsive in resolving the problem.
Fediseer doesn't change any of that, it just provides an easy way to mark instances as not good.
You need to "beg" (which in reality is just "ask") only if you want to become an active member of Fediseer.
I already replied there, but here's some more info: there are instances which have a whitelist-only approach, but those are only few. I think those could probably use Fediseer the way you're describing. But most instances want to federate with as many instances as possible, so switching to whitelist-only doesn't make sense for them.
Anyway, I've guaranteed for you on Fediseer if you want to participate.
