Hey as an FYI - it sounds like you need to disable authorized_fetch.

@thisismissem can speak to it with more technical detail if she has spoons, but the short version is that disabling authorized_fetch will give you the intended outcome you're looking for when doing blocks. :blobfox:

Despite death being common, so many companies do not know what to do when handling a deceased account and either closing it or transferring it.
Love letter to companies:
Dear CompanyName,
Please build a runbook for How to Handle Accounts with Deceased Account Holders. Having to set reminders to follow up with you every two weeks for months to a year (ongoing) is really stressful for the bereaved.
Thank You and Signed,
The Bereaved

I'm glad the feature is there now and now I'm also wondering if there could be an automatic user notification as well - i.e. if no moderator activity for N period (3 months? The period that mods are supposed to notify users anyway if they're closing the instance) that there is an announcement and perhaps a simultaneous post on whatever the contact / mod account on the instance is that has some system statement "there has been no moderation activity for N, users may want to migrate".
Does anyone have a good alternative to Google's Jamboard that's not FIgma? (Nothing against Figma, it's just too much tool for the job.)

Ok, based on the likes and boosts:
I can create a Job Seeking Council through Nivenly, to help people form sustainable groups to find jobs and network.
What I need is some data. Which best describes you?
(For anyone who has been laid off / etc. but hasn't had your last day yet, please select "currently unemployed" for this purpose.)
Would it help anyone to have a call to join to help strategize and look for jobs?
@hrefna Oh today is New Episode Day isn't it? 
Also, apparently while I've been down with COVID 🦠 WP vs WPE is on fire now?
