Mastodon
Mastodon is software that allows people to write text and upload media to a distributed, self-governed network of servers.

I run my own personal Mastodon server since 2023:
This present repo is for small notes and scripts for maintaining my instance.

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 their server as they like.
Rapidblock
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.
If you are running a .deb APT based distro, it may work for you to install
it thusly (if you don't mind running shell scripts unseen--insecure...).
curl -s https://apt.rapidblock.org/install.sh | sudo bash
If you want to go right into the repo and grab a .deb, they are here:
Note, there are packages for both amd64 (x86) and arm64.
Those builds don't install on Debian Bullseye (11/stable) though,
because they use zstd compression, which Bullseye APT dpkg-deb
doesn't support.
If you want to build it by hand, here's a q uick & dirty build for Debian Bullseye (11/stable).
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
unknown option: --help

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