!Friendica Admins Is there any way I can mimic Mastodon’s “limit” moderation function?? Getting some spam from Mastodon.social, and defederation seems like a rather blunt tool.

@Michael Vogel If server A limits server B, then posts from people not followed by people on server A do not federate to A. It is like "defederation lite" in that your users can still follow and interact with people on the limited server.

Would be great if on Friendica users could block entire instances too.

@Michael Vogel sounds a bit like a conditional relay function, so to discard posts from a server when no one is following anyone from that server?

@utzer [Friendica] @Michael Vogel No. Just discard the posts from people nobody follows. I follow people on .social. I want to stop the spam but don’t want to defederate if. “Limit” does that.

@Sarah Brown yes, the mechanism is relaying, direct relay or via an actual relay. At least that is what I thought, but maybe Mastodon sends all posts to all servers? @Michael Vogel will know better.

@Sarah Brown @Michael Vogel The important distinction is that mentions and private messages to users of server A also are silently dropped.
