I don't know enough mastodon protocol to say. It may be impossible in the protocol design.
Blocking, distorting or breaking communication due to lack of resources or protocol design is still failure in usability and fairness.

I would like to see limiting being in effect before commenting.
I discovered limiting when someone who uses @mathstodon.xyz notified me when I was having discussion in comments. They saw only one part of discussion. This has been going on months. I follow many people there.
The information about banned and limited servers is in https://mathstodon.xyz/about page and I figured it out accidentally.
@UlrikeHahn
Everything depends, you must be more specific.
In this case, the absolute minimum you can expect is automatic notification that you are limited, so that people don't have to waste time in confusion and can switch servers or something.
"To be informed when you are being throttled, shadow banned or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use."
That's a right thing to do in any platform.
Not from the legal perspective. Mastodon should do the same because it's right thing to do.
Despite Trump's overall motives, the fifth part about digital due process you quote seems sensible and needed even places like Mastodon.
Not just from rights and civility perspective but from usability perspective.
@UlrikeHahn
That's right. Mastodon suffers from that too.
I just learned by third hand that everyone in @mastodon.social is limited in @mathstodon.xyz. (popular mathematics mastodon).
@mathstodon.xyz site says for me "Moderated servers: This information has not been made available on this server"
Effectively it affects comments and discussions with people in the other site.
