Some instances not blocked #7

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

fediverse.network lists e.g. develop.gab.com, but this wasn't blocked by this script. neither was not-develop.gab.com. it didn't output any errors or anything, so i'm not sure why!

compufox commented 5 years ago

Were those instances already blocked?

ghost commented 5 years ago

i'm like... 80% sure that not-develop.gab.com was not blocked. sorry, i know that's not a very useful bug report!

does the script not block instances that have been blocked in the past?

compufox commented 5 years ago

Yeah, it checks to see if the instance is already blocked before it tries to create a new block.

An easy way to tell if the script blocked a domain is by going into the domain block page and see if that domain suspension says "rejecting media" and "rejecting reports" (assuming you dont usually check those options when suspending an instance)

Ah, they definitely were not blocked when I ran the script. I mean that they may have been in the past. After running the script, they're still not on my blocklist.

compufox commented 5 years ago

Oh, this could be something to do with how blocks are handled in newer mastodon releases.

I think it autoblocks subdomains if the main domain is blocked.

I'll look into it more, but that's my theory for now

compufox commented 5 years ago

okay! so i did a quick test and i do think this whats happening github_issue7

I'll make sure to add a note about it in the readme, and if you're comfortable with this answer I'll close this issue!
