 @aral @JoshStrobl @fosstodon @kev i also posted under another such claim which obviously is not true (because I can see both your posts and interact)  @aral @Mehrad @JoshStrobl @fosstodon @kev to be clear i don't take issue with them doing so, if that's what they feel is right for them then fair enough @Mehrad So silencing means: "A limited account is hidden to all other users on that instance, except for its followers. All of the content is still there, and it can still be found via search, mentions, and following, but the content is invisible publicly." IIUC it means that if someone you follow boosts a silenced account you don't also follow, you won't see it. If you use search, you will still find it. Edit. doot via fosstodon.org shows "This profile has been hidden...", but not via Tusky. @ttiurani thanks for the explanation. I don't have @doot account those that I followed, and yet when @aral boosted their post, I saw it on my wall (and that's how I joined the discussion). But as you said, Tusky, which I'm using, is showing both account normally. In my [perhaps flawed] logic, a server-wide policy should apply on all users regardless of their client. That is why I asked for testing and investigation rather than jumping to conclusion.  @Mehrad @aral @doot @fosstodon @kev doot appears as blocked by mods for me. Once I click to show anyways, so long as I do not refresh the page, it will continue showing the profile. The moment I do a full refresh, it shows the same thing again (so likely retained in page state until it's cleared on refresh). @Mehrad @aral @doot @fosstodon @kev It loads fine on Ivory and also tried on Mastodon for iOS, so it may be that the functionality is specific to Mastodon for Web? @JoshStrobl @aral @doot then perhaps we should wait for @fosstodon, @kev, @mike response and then if it is a policy, ask the details, and if it is a glitch, file a bug report on mastodon web client. Your tests conclude that official iOS app and Ivory work "normally", and my test shows @Tusky also behaves the same. So the "outlier" so far seems to be web client. But I'm very interested to see how the story unfolds. Thanks for testing 🚀  @aral I see the same as you. doot id hidden, where as my own, searched in this way is not. @Mehrad @doot @JoshStrobl @fosstodon @kev
@aral @JoshStrobl @fosstodon @kev yes, I see his post and I don't see what he sees. That simple. There is something wrong, sure, but it is not what you claimed it to be because I'm from the same instance and I saw your posts in my wall (that's how I found out and replied) @Mehrad @aral @fosstodon @kev Because it was? You think I'm just gonna make up some random bullshit and what...GIMP some screenshot? What would the objective be there? I'm perfectly happy with Fosstodon, I got no reason to stir shit up. @hyde ping me, couldn't see @aral, went to his account and got the message. Following the account does not provide any prompt. @JoshStrobl @aral @fosstodon @kev @hyde all I'm saying is that I (as you can see) have no issue seeing the posts, following @aral and I don't see **any** warning or notice in the client I use. So we better investigate rather than pointing fingers. |
@aral @JoshStrobl @fosstodon @kev no it is not. I don't understand why you and others are saying this.
