   So um I just heard something that sets off enormous flashing screaming alarms: apparently Pleroma not only doesn't allow their users to block people, it doesn't allow people on non-Pleroma instances to block Pleroma users (they prefer to treat "block" as a simple force-unfollow).

   I hope this isn't true, but if it is, it moves Pleroma from "has questionable developers" to "actively dangerous" in my mind.

      After notes from @mike and @karen I've looked into this; it looks like @kaniini submitted a PR that fixed this to the dev branch 5 days ago.

      Any Pleroma instance that's on master, or that's on dev but hasn't updated since then, will treat a block as a simple force-unfollow and WON'T prevent the user you blocked from refollowing you. And since, as far as I can tell, Pleroma doesn't use tagged releases, there's no way to tell which Pleroma instances have updated.
