@aral from Your followers should still be fine. Based on Mastodon docs limiting (silencing) a user doesn't break follows and only means posts won't show up on public timelines: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#limit-user

Or are the Mastodon docs incorrect?

@aral @73ms yeah, I thought the whole point of silencing was that it allows follows, but keeps posts off the public timelines so people can’t come across them by accident.
