I know that blocks are supposed to be federated, but surely getting notifications from people they've blocked is the fault of the server of the blocker, no? It can't keep track of local blocks?
- grishka 5y agoIt must keep track of the local blocks because it's the authoritative source for them. You can't rely on someone else's server to enforce your blocks for you because then the whole idea of blocking becomes useless once there are any malicious actors at all.
- kevinmgranger 5y agoExactly, that's why I'm confused by their comment. Does Mastodon really offload that to the server of the blockee?
