@puniko Actually, that should be local.
My mute is local. If I am following you and you switch instances, your instance - the remote instance, to me - sends a message to all of your followers when you switch instances, which is how we keep following you at the next instance, no?
In which case, part of what I suggest would be that *locally* would be my local instance checks to see if, when I get a notification to follow puniko@X because I followed puniko@Y, puniko@X was muted so I can transfer that too.
(I would never mute puniko :)
No information leakage.
But maybe I misunderstand how this whole business works with notifying followers' instances automatically when you switch instances.
