   @mike @hyde @kev @aral That was not the case. Aral was replying and mentioning me, I did not see their posts. I went to their profile, they were not muted or blocked, rather it presented the screen that I took a screenshot of above. 🤔

   Once I followed them, I was able to see their replies and their profile again.

     Yes, that is what I am trying to get at. Why was he limited in the first place? I get that you are under no obligation to actually communicate the reasons behind your administration. Your house, your rules after all. But is someone that has been advocating for open source and open platforms since 2013 / 2014 (at least first time I heard of him with Indie) really the sort of person that deserves to be "limited"?

     @JoshStrobl That's because you weren't following him.

     @JoshStrobl He verbally attacked other people, some members of the Fosstodon community. I wasn't the one that limited the account, but I do believe that the fact that he is a FOSS advocate that's fairly well known is the reason the account wasn't just blocked entirely. The fact that he's a FOSS advocate doesn't give him a get out of jail free card.
