Blocking Wonkiness in Latest Versions


!Friendica Developers
I'm playing around with blocking in order to fix some behaviors in the Mastodon status with context endpoint. I do that first by seeing how the UI is doing things, all through the UI. The latest develop build is doing some things I didn't expect. Specifically, a blocked user on the same server seems to be able to see the content of the blocking user even if it was created after the user was blocked. The blocking user seems to still be able to see content from the blocked user too but it is just hidden behind a CW thing. Are these expected behaviors and I had a mis-impression of how these were working or has something gone awry?

@Hank G ☑️ These were working and then changes were made and now even I can't trust either Ignore or Block features.

@Hank G ☑️ I'm not even sure it's a bug anymore. @Michael Vogel alone is handling ignore and block features and they may be currently working as intended for all that I know.

It seems that Mastodon's policies for blocked users seems like how I thought things were done here, or should be anyway. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#block
