# Mastodon Block Bot
This is a simple database-based block bot for Mastodon.
## Installation
1. Install plpython3. On Debian this is `apt install postgresql-plpython3-13`.
2. Run the script as the database administrator account (postgres) in your Mastodon database.
Database admin is required to create the Python extension and function.
For example: `sudo -u postgres psql mastodon < blockbot.sql`.
3. 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', '...');`
### Opter outer
This is a python fedi bot that processes opt out/opt in requests.
By default, people are opted in, and they can run @blockbot opt out to opt out.
1. Copy opter_outer.example.toml to opter_outer.toml
2. Edit the `db` section as needed.
3. `python -m venv .venv`
4. `. .venv/bin/activate`
5. `pip install -r requirements.txt`
Then set your service manager (such as systemd) to run `.venv/bin/python opter_outer.py`.
