why are people from mastodon dot social able to favorite my posts if i've blocked the entire domain? did i do something incorrectly?

Masto block details 

@Okesska

I looked it up it says a block does this

Block a domain to:

hide all public posts from it
hide all notifications from it
remove all followers from it
prevent following new users from it (but does not remove existing follows)

so I guess it doesn't stop them from seeing your stuff? its odd design

@Doephin @BlurTheFur sorry to bother but do u know if this is true?

Masto block details 

@Okesska @Doephin I'm not sure of the exact details, and could be wrong, but I believe a domain block from a user would still show all the old posts to the blocked server that it was aware of up until the block. I saw this behavior from someone who blocked another instance I'm on. Was still able to see all their public posts up until the block.

re: Masto block details 

@BlurTheFur @Okesska the doc I posted is a little out of date as the feature does remove existing follows now too. But could also be a caching thing, yeah
