This is definitely a week again, where I want to defederate mastodon.social
Sadly this would also block many legit accounts…

Would be nice to have some sort of lockdown mode for specific instances in @gotosocial
Setting mastodon.social in a lockdown mode that would prevent any interactions from „unknown" accounts and would only allow posts/follows/etc. from accounts someone on the instance already follows (and accounts already following some on the own instance, and of course also boots of posts from accounts on the locked down instance of accounts that are followed from the own instance).
Or something like this, which should still allow interactions with the instance but blocks every new/unknown account instead of fully defederating.
