Individual Authorized Followers #16

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

The current "Authorized Followers" screen gives you the ability to select entire instances and force everyone from that instance to unfollow you. This is incredibly useful, if a whole instance seeing your private posts is a problem (say, if an instance doesn't respect post privacy). However, you cannot see which users from that instance follow you, only how many, and you cannot force-unfollow individual users without "softblocking," or blocking the user and then unblocking them.

I would suggest putting a sort of dropdown arrow next to a domain's listing in the page, which would then display individual users' basic information for you to then decide upon. Hitting the check on the instance would, of course, select every user in that instance's list, but you could also select or deselect individuals from this as well.

I made a mockup of this: follower mockup

Note that this DOESN'T change anything about that notice—that's a warning that people could FOLLOW you to see your private toots without your input. Even with this change and the ability to softblock people with a dedicated UI, that doesn't change the fact that your private toots have ALREADY been exposed, and that people could just keep following you every time you softblock them. So that's why that warning is there

Very true, I should have been more clear. The warning can and should definitely stay, but should not affect the associated functionality of booting followers. You should be able to remove groups of people from your follower list without having a locked account.
