@aral no I don't follow @doot account. And using Tusky (which I have used all this time) I can see their profile and read their posts. Shall I share screenshot?

@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 @ttiurani @aral 'their', not 'her' please.

Edit And I've just realised this is pointless because it won't be seen 🙃

@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).

@JoshStrobl
You are using web interface and I use Tusky onmy phone (I don't have access to a computer at the moment so I cannot test, but perhaps you can use a different client if you have access to your phone. On my phone I can see both
@aral and @doot without any warning or issue. Also I cannot comprehend how Aral's views and points are againts policy of Fosstodon. So I rather be cautious about jumping to conclusions, and exhaust hypotheses first.

@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 🚀
