Out of curiosity: If I migrated my Fedi account from one instance to another, do the blocks (other people who blocked me) migrate as well? They should, right? 🤔

@Natanox 🇺🇦🇵🇸 They don't.

First of all, that'd require searching the entire Fediverse for accounts and channels that have blocked you. Your Mastodon account has no records of who has blocked you, that's why searching is necessary.

Also, it'd require remotely re-writing the block settings on accounts and channels of every Fediverse software, from Mastodon to Hubzilla which works absolutely nothing like Mastodon internally.

Lastly, next to the huge effort, that'd simply be a stupid idea.

Even nomadic identity (https://joinfediverse.wiki/Nomadic_identity) doesn't provide this feature. That has to say something.
