I am not blocked, I just can't follow. I can still subscribe and interact, so not much practical difference.
You were prolly grandfathered in because you followed before the recent kerfuffle.
@EubieDrew @obi There is no 'grandfathering in'. If that instance would block Qoto, you'd get unfollowed automatically.
That said, I managed to follow her too, so it's nothing weird here.
Okay, I deleted the original toot at the top of this thread because I thought I fixed it.
I WAS WRONG.
I only fixed it for thunberg, all the other accts went back to "Awaiting Approval" with the follow button changed to "Cancellfollow request" and timer icon shows up in the dialog.
The accts are all Black accts, some on big instances, plus the Tim Wise twitterbot acct.
I can still see content, not blocked. Not sure yet if subscibing works. I can follow all of them with my alt ub@mas.to
@EubieDrew @trinsec @freemo awaiting approval signifies a locked account, but as far as I know it can’t be instance based.
