The Weirdest Thing Just Happened To Me??

General
Ok maybe this isn’t the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me haha but earlier I saw this Transformers meme on the browse page of FA that someone drew. I know someone irl who’s in the Transformers fandom so I faved it so I could go back and show them later when I wasn’t busy. A few hours later the artist noted me asking why I faved their art, then sent a follow up note saying that they blocked me??? 0_o I thought people liked getting favorites on Furaffinity!?
FA+

I look at someone's awesome drawing of their OC, I comment "Dang, that looks cool!" (Obviously paraphrasing because I wouldn't remember what I said a month ago...) And the next post of theirs I see, which I didn't notice was also theirs, I try to comment again. It turns out they blocked me. I'm just sitting there, so confused, but I just shrug it off. I haven't seen anything else they've posted, so chances are they've abandoned the site, but yeah, some people confuse me.
Do you get notifications when someone faves your art? If so then that's probably what they meant.
And yea, you're right, that is a strange reaction..
The public is gonna interact with things posted to the public, if they don't want that why would they even post to FA at all?
What a thing to be hung up on too. Faves are one of the primary ways to communicate you like something on this site so RIP to him I guess!
