Rapidblock for Mastodon

[shanelord01]

Hi team,

Is there an easy way to install Rapidblock support into the Mastodon app?

At least as an option for those that want to use it?

Thanks,
Shane.

Do you have any description on how to install this? Then we can check if it can be supported by the Cloudron package.

@nebulon Their GH page has a clue: https://github.com/rapidblock-org/rapidblock

You mean where it installs an apt package? What does it do? I have to admit after staring at the page for 5 mins, I don't understand what this is. https://rapidblock.org/ has a json file, is that supposed to be dropped in somewhere ? If not, what is the go program being installed in the github page?

Yeah, at the moment it's a script that calls the mastodon api to add a git-ops derived block list. Hachyderm has one too. It's a neat idea (philosophical questions not withstanding).

I think the easiest approach would be to download the code locally and have it run against your Mastodon instance and that would allow folks to choose to use it if they want or not, but not bake it into the default app.

But I may have read the instructions wrong!
