chris@strafpla.net (chris@mstdn.strafpla.net)'s status on Sunday, 18-Feb-2024 02:23:39 JST chris@strafpla.net Can we please have a feature that lets us block traffic of Mastodon servers that have not been patched?
The API gives away the version number of the server - I‘m close to hacking a script that creates blocklists based on Server versions.
