Grishka How is blocking supposed to work? Should I use the Block activity?
# Grishka Okay, so Mastodon does send Block and Undo
{Block}, even though the spec says that Block activity is c2s only# Grishka There's also Ignore activity, but while Mastodon does have block and ignore as distinct options in the UI, ignoring a user doesn't send anything and is apparently done locally 🤔
# nightpool[m] yes, we follow twitter in having distinct Block (visible to the other person) and Mute (invisible to the other person) concepts
# nightpool[m] we thought about changing it to match the spec, but we had a ton of backlash from people who really value "Blocking prevents people from viewing your profile "
