If you want to block a possible future Meta instance from your instance, here is the domain to block:

threads.net

(and you might as well block instagram.com and meta.com and facebook.com too, in case they use subdomains from them)

@mods @feditips hi to you. I'm building a VPS to have my own instance (Firefish). I was wondering if it is possible to mute or block an entire TLD (wildcard) ? Exemple : *.jp ... ?

And does the added domain include subdomains ? Example : social.threads.net ?

Thanks

A domain block includes all subdomains so it's usually best to just block the main domain instead of trying to guess which subdomains they use.

About TLDs, I am not sure. I have tried asking about this on the github but didn't get a reply.

For what it's worth, on my own server I have blocked some obscure TLDs used by free domain providers as they tended to be spammers, trolls etc, and so far I haven't seen anyone from those TLDs, but that could just be coincidence.

@feditips @dominic @mods What GitHub are you asking on? There's only one official repository for Firefish, and it's on our own Gitlab server. https://git.joinfirefish.org/firefish/firefish.git
firefish / firefish ยท GitLab

Ahhhh apologies, I missed the part where they mention it being a Firefish instance. I was asking on the Mastodon github.

@feditips @kainoa @mods many thanks for your replies. Noted for the subdomains. But for TLD, how did you add them on your instance? Just add the TLD like .jp ??

It's ok that you asked in the Mastodon GitHub. I'm testing my own Mastodon and Firefish instances. I don't know for now which one will be my final instance.

I just put the TLD with no domain name, just like you said, in the form .example

It didn't produce any errors or cause any obvious problems, it's obviously quite difficult to test if it works though.

@feditips @kainoa @mods I confirm that the .tld doesn't work. This morning I added .jp and I still see them on the federated feed.

Was this on Mastodon or Firefish?

@feditips @kainoa It's on my Firefish.
