+# Le Spam
+There are some on the Internet that like to spam and attack Mastodon nodes.
+Often, this is related to political attacks, but it will run the gamut of
+the weirdness on Earth.
+
+Groups of moderators are created, some working together, to allow them
+to shape they server as they like.
+
+Rapidblock is software that allows Mastodon nodes to block unwanted servers
+more easily. It helps put the community back in charge of their own server.
+Or that's at least the goal, as far as I can tell. I am not the author
+of it. It is also in very early development, but is mature enough to try
+out, if you're familiar with server administration.
+
+Here's notes so far. I haven't run it. Maybe soon.
+
+Quick & dirty build for Debian Bullseye (11/stable).
+
+Note, the `.deb` packages upstream use `zstd` compression,
+which Bullseye `dpkg-deb` can't uncompress.
+
+To build, a newer `go` compiler is needed than ships in the
+main Bullseye repo. It is in the Bullseye backports repo.
+
+Edit `/etc/apt/sources.list` and make sure it has a line like this:
+```
+deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian bullseye-backports main
+```
+
+```
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -t bullseye-backports golang-go
+git clone https://github.com/rapidblock-org/rapidblock
+cd rapidblock
+go install
+go build
+```
+
+That should build a binary `rapidblock`.
+To confirm it works, run:
+
+```
+./rapidblock --help
+```

+# Disclaimer
+I have only been running a Mastodon server for a week, and am just
+figuring out how it works as I go.
