What feature would you like to see the Admin's at #QOTO add to our mastodon instance next?
If you don't see what you'd want in the poll just comment it down below instead.
@QOTO I'd appreciate a visual indication (e.g. turn interface elements red) if I'm looking at a user who's on an instance that suspends QOTO or blocks it personally. If this condition can be detected in advance, it would save me the bother of trying to interact with them.

If the instance blocks us you would not be able to see the toot in the timeline, same if the user themselves blocks the whole instance or you (in which case you wont see their toots AND their follow button will be greyed out).
The only way they wouldnt be able to hear you but you would see their toots is if the individual silenced you or our instance, or if the whole instance silenced us. In which case the user can still see your responses they just wont get notified when you mention them unless they follow you.
@freemo What did social.libre.fi impose on QOTO, a silence or a block? If I reply to someone on that instance, click over to their local web interface and view the post, my reply doesn't show up. Similarly any follow attempt I've made there has shown "requested" and never seen any further action.
@khird by the way the reason you are seeing the system behave the way it does to you following users isnt a block or a silence. Some users have protected following. This means if you follow them it will be pending and the user will decide if they wish to approve it or not. If the account isnt active they may never approve it and it may be pending forever.
This is most likely what you are experiencing. As far as i can tell there is no indication of a silence or a block there.
