Note to Those I May Have Accidentally Blocked
5 years ago
Made a post about it on Twitter, and I have no idea if peeps can see my profile if they have me blocked. I know they can see my art posts tho, so hopefully they can see this too? Idk FA's block system is a tad confusing and random with permissions.
Anyways, since I got notified of it happening last night and I'm paranoid: if I have you blocked on here, it was most likely a mistake and completely unintentional. For some reason I can't see any users on my block list (including the one or two profiles I know for sure I have blocked, it's just blank), and profiles I have blocked do not show up with the "unblock" version of the block button like when you normally block someone, it just looks like any other profile I pass by. So I have literally no way of knowing if I'm looking at a profile I have blocked. And it's even more concerning because with last night's instance, I had no memory of blocking them, nor had we ever really interacted, and there were no signs of me having blocked them, which leads me to wonder if this is not the only instance of this. But I also have no way of knowing because I can't check it on my end OTL
But I rarely use block functions (I like to believe most disputes can be solved by open communication, so you'd really have to work against me or try to hurt me to warrant a block), so esp if we've barely interacted or the majority of interactions have been pleasant, you were not blocked on purpose, and I would be happy to correct the issue if I can. I don't really know why it happened, if it's a bug or if my fingers fumble more than I think they do, but it seems that it's easily fixed by me just toggling the block button on your profile, and I am happy to do it.
I should have all my alt sites listed on my profile, to which you can DM me on any of them. But just in case, I'll quickly list them.

If you have my Discord handle/server or even my rarely used Telegram, you're also welcome to message me through those as well.
And if anyone else was blocked, I'm very sorry for the hassle and any stress it may have caused you! Let me know and I will correct it ASAP!

edit: nope not blocked. alls good! XD
I just kinda assume people are creeped out by me, heh.
Also have no idea if it’s a general bug, but I know there was a bug sometime last year that would just randomly boot people off watch lists and you had to manually rewatch them. So don’t think it’d be a stretch to think there could be a hitch in the block system now, esp with the UI update. But thus far I haven’t heard anyone complain about botched blocklists, so idk. Then again people tend not to question blocks so could be it was largely unnoticed (like I defo didn’t notice until someone DMed me, and can’t tell who I have blocked unless I’m told about it).
Imo if you wanna put yourself out there, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask around, at least if it’s more recent and with someone you’ve never spoken to. But might also expose you to pettiness and unpleasant feels if it wasn’t accidental, so it’s kind of something you need to weigh cost/benefits for yourself and your situation.
