I have created a #diaspora #pullrequest that would add the ability to block a foreign pod and all it posts from you own pod. It intended as a replacement of blocking IP's.
- It should prevent the blocked pod from being federated
- It will hide all posts from this pod
- it will hide users in search for the blocked pod
- it won't alter the database (its on your own how to handle unwanted posts)
- it makes use of already existing 'blocked' attribute in pod - table
What I like to ask the #podmin s out there: Is anybody interested to test it? Will this PR do what its intended for? Did I have mis something?
If there is a review (code or functionality) it might rise the chance to get implemented in Diaspora.
Here is the link to the PR:
