If someone boosts my post, and I subsequently block them, what happens?

I'm thinking of the bot we saw once that just went around boosting creatures' introductions posts. Whoever of us got their post boosted immediately blocked it, but I'm wondering if the damage was already done at that point or what.

@topaz I'm not sure what prevents them from boosting your posts after you block them, if the posts are publicly available. A boost is essentially an activitypub message that points at the boosted post (I don't remember if it's inlined additionally). If you can fetch the post to boost, would anything prevent you from simply sending such a messages? Would other servers know that you have blocked that account and drop/hide/... that boost?
