1-person mastodon instance moderation

for people who run tiny mastodon instances (for example on masto.host): how much work is managing your server block lists? it's really unclear to me what that looks like for a 1-person instance

re: 1-person mastodon instance moderation
@b0rk I don't have any. In fact, I don't know how to configure the filtering of any kind. Obviously it cannot continue like this, but I'm continuing on procrastinating and I have been successful at it for several years.

mastodon meta

I think now I just need to learn how WebFinger works and if there are any potential problems with using @b0rk @ jvns.ca as a username https://jacobian.org/til/my-mastodon-instance/

re: 1-person mastodon instance moderation
@pro @b0rk I dabbled with the filtering a bit, was trying to make certain other instances not show up on the public timeline, but ultimately I just decided to make the public timeline private instead. So right now I don't have a block list at all. I imagine I'd just block individual users if they started to get annoying.

@kazriko How did you do it?

All I know is

config :pleroma, :instance,
public: false

@pro @b0rk Under the dashboard on the admin account, in the "Instance" section, Restrict Unauthenticated.
