Gregory's ServerA useful feature would be for Admins to automatically block instances below a security version level. Might encourage recalcitrant Admins to catch up.

 @thisismissem @vmstan @Gargron The information is there in the api which known instances could be sampled daily. Only it might get complicated with instances not using Mastodon. Perhaps introducing a unique version code like mstdn.4.x.x or kbin.x.x.x might help. Vulnerabilities occur elsewhere. Might be useful if a gihub account of another distribution gets compromised and they need to be locked out until proven safe. Just a suggestion going forward if other distributions would co-operate.  |
@stuart @vmstan @Gargron mastodon currently doesn't collect nor store information on the instances it's federating with, afaik, so this would be hard to do, without a change to collect that data.
