Current rough stats for blocking servers with out-of-date software versions using this script: ca. 3490 servers silenced, ca. 3180 servers suspended.
This greatly reduces the amount of spam I have to deal with. I'm also not keen to federate with servers that have big gaping security holes that will go unpatched for years.
Scripts to identify abandoned versions of Mastodon and push a blocklist, or automatically manage using ready-made blocklists: https://codeberg.org/GunChleoc/mastodon-scripts/src/branch/main/blocklists
Update:
- Fix comparison logic
- Add 2 domains with non-standard versioning to sample allowlist
Update:
- Push block update if only the comment changed
- Never block your own domain
- Improve formatting of console output
- Add firebird.com domains with non-standard versioning to sample allowlist
