So it seems like there's a pretty clear enhancement needed to the #Mastodon blocking paradigm. When a remote user (or the instance a remote user is on) is blocked system-wide by a local admin, any users on that local system who currently follow that now blocked user (or any other users on a now blocked instance), should be *notified* of this action, so they can determine if they wish to stay on that local instance given the policy decision of its admin. If they aren't informed, they cannot make informed decisions, and may simply assume remote users that they follow have stopped posting.

@lauren I resepctfully suggest that suggestions like this should be sent here:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues
No value in yelling into the void :( )
(by all means then post here that you've done so, so we can vote it up.)
Valid call though!

@leadegroot Thanks. Frankly, I don't have the time nowadays to be pulled into the ongoing debates over such suggested changes in a formal sense. Been there, done that!

@lauren :nods: your choice, but nothing will happen if you only mention it here!
I would suggest that your audience is broad enough here if you post the issue and then mention it here, the resulting upvote might well be enough without you doing anything further :)

@leadegroot Apparently one aspect of this is on the roadmap. Which may mean something. Or not.
