Yesterday, users of mstdn.social instance lost their connections to artists at mastodon.art instance ( src: https://framapiaf.org/@Curator@mastodon.art/110570978375947500 ). I hope giving visibility to this issue will help them to restore the broken bridges.

We're no longer blocked by mstdn.social, but I don't know if that's subject to change. Unfortunately, when an instance suspends another instance, all follow/follower relationships are immediately broken and aren't recovered by un-suspending, so you will have to find and re-follow your connections there.

@davidrevoy it was resolved at 3pm BST yesterday right? As far as I know, curator and one other account is blocked, that's it.

@experiencersinternational @davidrevoy yes but the unblock doesnt fix all the users who followed each other between the two instances. Imagine suddenly no longer following your friends from another server overnight. That happened to 20000 users. The damage is done.

@foervraengd @davidrevoy yeah I know, it's an unfortunate situation
