I've got a friend that I'd like very much to follow from another instance. Problem? His instance is blocking mine. There is absolutely nothing I can do, besides writing to the mods of my instance and ask them why it is blocked, which I have a pretty good idea as to why already anyway, thanks to a friend we have in common. And all of that so I can talk to this one friend over there? Bloody unlikely they would reconsider.
I should be able to bypass that block for a specific user. I'm really, really annoyed right now, and sad I won't be able to follow this friend unless one of us move to another instance. I don't want to move and I'm pretty sure neither does he. So... We're both screwed over, I guess. #mastodon
