@mcc Now what kind of technology are you wanting, one where users are identified even when not logged in - or being able to browse the internet anonymously?

Blocking is such a useless feature when you decide to publicly express yourself.

@boiert 1. Internet safety features are often about creating *friction* rather than prohibiting an action entirely. This change removes that friction. One question I have is whether, if A blocks B, under the new rules B can get A surfaced in the For You tab.

2. Private mode *does* limit who can see your posts to people you have approved.

3. To my understanding, Mastodon in authorized_fetch mode also has the effect desired here, even with non-public posts.
