AMS@ilyess Client-side replies to a linked fediverse post.
@AMS Thank you. How do you deal with moderation?
@ilyess Block the offending commenters. Then their replies don't load from my instance.
@AMS If I understand how client-side pulling of Fediverse replies works, I don't think blocking from your account would remove replies from the list pulled by JS. It just makes them invisible to you. So I suspect they would still show up on your blog post, unless you have a specific way of dealing with this in JS code directly. Is that right?
@ilyess In this case it pulls from my instance directly, not from the users' so my blocks apply. (I tested this case).
@AMS That's super cool! This point has been brought up in this thread as a clear shortcoming of client-side pulling of Fediverse replies, but you seem to have found a workaround.
Do you have a snippet of the code by any chance? Or maybe a blog post discussing the implementation?
I mainly have 2 questions:
1. When you say "it pulls from my instance", are you talking about an instance of which you're an admin. So the blocked user is blocked instance-wide? or;
2. Is the pull authenticated as you?
@ilyess Instance where I'm an admin. Unauthenticated. Basically a way to have AP integrated blog with a static site.
@AMS Ah that makes sense. So this solution requires admin privileges on the instance to block users instance-wide for all users, and public/unauthenticated calls.
I feel like this solves the moderation problem for people on single-user instances. Thanks for the clarification!
