@FediTips Hi sorry to bother you

Do you know the answer to this or do you know who I should ask

If I use Tusky on my phone it tells me I've muted some instances

If I look using a browser from my PC it tells me I've blocked the same instances

Now if I look up, say, Potus I can see the account despite blocking threads.net

Which makes me think that threads.net & all the others I thought I'd blocked are just muted

So does blocking an instance actually block it so they can't see me or me them ?

@staringatclouds

User blocks of instances just mute them, they aren't proper blocks. Tusky is right to call them mutes.

Only admins can do actual blocking of instances. You would need to ask your instance's admin to do an actual block (also known as a "defederation").
