All right, got a minute to fix the Pawoo problem.
If you are unfamiliar with the problem, someone is spamming CP on Pawoo with a demand that people block Pawoo. FSE does not block instances, so we will not block Pawoo. Since I also don't negotiate with terrorists, if it keeps up I will subscribe to whatever relay Pawoo is on and we will be extremely federated and FSE's TWKN will be full of posts that just say "ohha"/"nemui", pictures of waifus, and photos of Japanese bar food. I am an asshole and I am completely unreasonable and unwilling to budge on anything ever.
Temporary MRF in place, should prevent us having to deal with the problems. If likes act funny, it's because I did it wrong. It is on git.fse ( https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fse;a=commitdiff;h=a127699b862c3d509a126ccde7e0d0ad4882ebf1 ), but it will not work out of the box on instances running a newer version of Pleroma, a bunch of shit moved around (and the guy that moved it for no reason has since been removed from the team), so some assembly is required if you're on 2.3 or above. (No, I don't remember what you have to change; I do recall it being trivial. I'd ask @sjw but non-reply posts I create no longer federate there for some reason, I figure he would prefer to stay federated with Pawoo. Just look at noop_policy.ex in your repo. I was actually going to adapt an MRF that I wrote for Poast when they were being spammed by a flood of KF accounts, but I couldn't find where I put it and I have a habit of dashing these things off and just dropping them in /tmp, which is a ramdisk.)
I'd like to discourage people from blocking Pawoo. Someone is using CP to get people to block Pawoo, and people are responding by blocking Pawoo, which means that you are demonstrating that this tactic works. You can't block an instance just because some random asshole shows up, but you sure as hell do not want to encourage people to use this as a tactic. The better option is to render the tactic useless and then put that guy into the woodchipper for posting CP.
