Installation

apt install postgresql-plpython3-13

Database admin is required to create the Python extension and function.
For example:
sudo -u postgres psql mastodon < blockbot.sql
. - Insert a row into blockbot_config with your Mastodon hostname and a token for the account you want the blockbot to use.
INSERT INTO blockbot_config (hostname, token) VALUES ('freak.university', '...');

section as needed. python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
