What the actual fuck?! I just lost almost 500 followers in the last few minutes!

Update: mastodon.social was the instance. Somehow it ended up on my block list. I have no idea how that happened, but 🤷🏼‍♀️ It seems to be resolved now.

However, all the follows/followers are gone. So if you want more Alice in your timeline, consider re-following (and I now need to hunt down all the people I was following there too).

Love y'all ❤️❤️

@alice Happened to me aswell a few weeks ago. I missclicked while blocking a specific user :oh_no_blob: :oh_no_bubble:

@Botiplz there should be a more explicit warning, or a way to recover connections if you unblock the instance within a few days.

@alice The second one sounds more reasonable, because there are a lot of apps and I did it on one of those

alice OP ,

@Botiplz perhaps the one who initiates the block could store an encrypted list of connections, which could be used to recover those connections if the block is lifted (whether an individual or server).

@alice I have had a look myself and can actually see mastodon dot social so this seems very unusual

@alice strange. I hope it is a fault.

@alice

I only have 50 followers. So I hope not. -450 followers might dissuade people from following me. :bd14:

Maybe someone defederated or they are having server issues.

@Weanerdog @alice I sincerely hope it's just server issues. Looking at people I follow, there sure are a lot on that instance I'd hate to lose.

I may only be one person on a home server, but to @lgbtqia.space and my friends there:

never gonna give you up
never gonna let you down
never gonna run around and block you

My attempts at humor in bad situations has caused much conflict among friends...

@alice I probably didn't do it, but it's freaky that I just rebooted my little Masto-server and this was the first post that popped up when it came back online.

@alice@lgbtqia.space avatar

@derek that's it. Give 'em back. 😋

@alice That's my secret, Alice... nobody follows me. hulks out ... eats ice cream with teeny tiny spoon

@alice sounds like a defederation of a server?

alice OP ,
@alice@lgbtqia.space avatar

@arichtman Yeah, but I didn't defed any server, and what server did I have 500 followers on?

mastodon.social maybe?

alice OP ,
@alice@lgbtqia.space avatar

I lost like 300 people I was following too!
