Interesting: I just tried following someone on mastodon.ie with an unlocked account and it got turned into a follow request.
Has mastodon.ie silenced me?

@DJDarren It would be good to know for sure so I can stop recommending that people join them as I have been doing.
@aral They can’t handle the truth you’re spittin’
@jonoabroad A block is one thing (and, at an instance level, should be communicated with a reason). Shadow-banning/silencing without reason at the instance level is another (and should also be communicated). Twitter had better transparency in communicating some of these things (and allowing for appeals) than some fediverse instances.
@aral this was/is one of the things about social media that we don't have a good or really any solution to yet.
I had to stop myself on twitter from wanting to know why people had blocked me, I think I'm mostly harmless, if a bit sweary.
It would be nice if one could see _why_ a block occurs or has occurred.
But then 🤷♂️
