   @mods @feditips hi to you. I'm building a VPS to have my own instance (Firefish). I was wondering if it is possible to mute or block an entire TLD (wildcard) ? Exemple : *.jp ... ?

   And does the added domain include subdomains ? Example : social.threads.net ?

   Thanks

     A domain block includes all subdomains so it's usually best to just block the main domain instead of trying to guess which subdomains they use.

     About TLDs, I am not sure. I have tried asking about this on the github but didn't get a reply.

     For what it's worth, I have blocked some obscure TLDs used by free domain providers as they tended to be spammers, trolls etc, and so far I haven't seen anyone from those TLDs, but that could just be coincidence.

     If you want to block a possible future Meta instance from your instance, here is the domain to block:

     threads.net

     (and you might as well block instagram.com and meta.com and facebook.com too, in case they use subdomains from them)
