Partway through the regexp string I see misskey-forkbomb.cf|repl.co|*activitypub-troll.cf|activitypub-proxy.cf
It looks like you've added a block in your instance for a wildcard: *activitypub-troll.cf
and that's breaking the regex because *
in regex means zero-or-more of the character that came before it. But there isn't anything before it here, because the delimeter |
is used to separate sub-matches in the group, so that's why you're getting the target of repeat operator is not specified
error.
Probably not a bug in FediBlockHole since the tool filters out wildcard domains, and mastodon.social
doesn't have any wildcards in its public blocklist that I can see.
Mastodon automatically blocks subdomains, so you don't need the *activitypub-troll.cf
entry. Try going into your instance and removing that block and then rerunning tootctl domains crawl
?
@jpwarren It does have some wildcards. Not that this is at issue here, but worth mentioning.

You are correct! I am a dumbass, because I looked at the merged export from FediBlockHole (after it stripped them out) and not the separate pre-merged list for mastodon.social
that FediBlockHole saves out.
You can write the tool and still fail to use it correctly.
Computers are terrible and we should throw them all into the sea.
My bad - it was the * that was the culprit.
Hi,
After I migrated a list of domains to be blocked from
mastodon.social
, I got this error when usingtootctl domains crawl
:Could it be related? I see that it fails displaying all the banned domains.
Best, Francis
