hmm thonkang emoji, i remember an issue some time ago asking for a button to force someone to unfollow you (softblocking) and i'm just now realising that mastodon already expliticly supports this on the AP side. you can Undo an Accept of a Follow

I wonder if blocking actually sends one of these. the AP spec doesn't say blocking has to make the blocked actor unfollow the blocking actor

just realised i typed "hmm thonkang emoji" instead of using a thonkang emoji
