     @aurynn @alix omg that is idiotic.
     All that needs to happen is reject all messages. Like Pleroma/Akkoma does.

     I'd love to see the decision process they went though before implementing that. 😑

     @alix @swansinflight So what happens on a technical level is that a background job gets kicked off that goes through and suspends every user on the instance being suspended. This can take a while to run.

     It's the suspending an account that severs all the connections.

     @aurynn @swansinflight Coujd we have a bit more detail on the impact of suspending an instance on follow/follower relationships?

     My relationships list seems to be intact.

     What’s not clear is whether info is flowing from accounts that aren’t in some special allow list.

     * Ars Technica’s account on mastodon.social is fine and functioning.

     * A quick sampling of other MS accounts finds that they look dead - am I just not seeing what they’ve posted? Will look harder.

     mastodon.social now only Limited on mastodon.nz, will monitor reports and adjust to full suspend again as necessary.

     suspending mastodon.social for now.

     Excessive spam.

     Update: Report queue cleared, reduced to Limit now.
