   Some time yesterday, everyone I was following on infosec.exchange, I was no longer following. I was able to re-follow them, and everyone from there who was following me, still is.

   WTF?

     Apparently what happened is that one @jerry decided that my posts should be blocked from being seen on infosec.exchange, then changed their mind.

     So keep that in mind when choosing your instance, I guess.

     At no point in this process did I receive any communication about it from anybody.

     And apparently a side-effect of this was that *I* lost followers?

     This system is not a good system.

     @jwz @jerry if he blocked you at the instance level it would sever the relationships, yes. I don't know why that's a surprise?
     
     How else could this possibly work?
