Added a bunch of instances to the blocklist here. So easy to do with the Mitra .yaml config! Much prefer this to some admin GUI. Also, a lot easier to save and backup if you need to do a rebuild of the instance! ❤️ing Mitra!

@mischievoustomato I'm sure. But, just nothing like a nice comfy .deb. Running Mitra on Debian with a dedicated .deb just makes it so fast and nice and easy. I wish more software shipped this way. @silverpill

Mitra being packaged as a .deb is a massive game-changer when it comes to deploying Fediverse instance software. It's so nice and easy to just spin up a database, install the .deb, connect the two via config and then setup Nginx and voila: being fully online and working and ready to go! (Instead of like 20 different moving parts all contingent on one another with various update schedules and bla bla bla 1 thing borks and the whole instance goes to hell.)

It's been so so so so nice to install and get working + it's very fast and lightweight and easy to manage/maintain. I think it's now my absolute favorite Fediverse software! I want to give a massive thanks to @silverpill for making and maintaining this phenomenal software!

@silverpill So, for updating, just wget the newest .deb from the repo and run dpkg -i <mitra .deb>? Then, restart? Nice!

I'll read up on cache management and how Mitra handles files on the system. Is it cool if I message you with any follow up questions? @mischievoustomato

Mitra runs great and was super (emphasize: super) easy to get setup and running.

Now, I just need to figure out:

- How to update Mitra (I installed from the .deb package).
- How to manage storage (I previously had Nginx temporarily caching remote files on Misskey and Pleroma whereas locally-uploaded files were stored to a directory).
- How to setup custom emojis/reacts.

Maybe @mischievoustomato has some insider scoops towards this.
