Severed relationships

!Friendica Admins Mastodon will introduce this new feature https://social.trom.tf/display/68cf7c3b-d895adedc0330bef-b74b970c to alert users if some of their contacts will not be reachable if the admin of the instance decides to block other instances where these contacts resides.

Is this something that Friendica can also implement? It is something I've been vocal about for quite some time now. But I have no idea how feasible it is :)

Another recently merged feature is the new "severed relationship" notifications. Those will appear when a moderator or admin blocks a user or a whole domain and this action caused you to loose some follows or followers.

Those blocks used to be invisible to users, you maybe saw your follows/followers count decrease but nothing more. Now you can access a list of those blocks, and download a CSV file with the list of impacted accounts.

This is a fantastic idea. I mean, I totally get that sometimes admins are going to need to defederate from bad actor instances, but notifying users whose relationships with people on those instances should *always* be a notification event! Hopefully this can be pulled over to other fedi platforms!
