Unsubscribing does not purge blocks? #270

Open dankegel opened 5 years ago

dankegel commented 5 years ago

Yesterday, to verify that unsubscribing worked, I unsubscribed from all three blocklists I had subscribed to. Alas, so far, the accounts they blocked are still blocked.

One of the many, many blocks that has not been removed is for twitter handle FlatProof. Searching Actions for that finds exactly one entry:

block FlatProof done 14 days ago subscription BlockFlatEarth

Double-checking my subscriptions, I see I have none.

That seems inconsistent. Evidently the unsubscribe action failed to trigger removal of any blocks.

The twitter account with the problem is @dkegel.

Uh-oh. The subscription page says "Note: Unsubscribing does not currently unblock everyone from the list.". Does that mean blocktogether does not yet offer a way to undo the effect of subscribing to a blocklist?

Go to "My Blocks" click the button to the left of screen name then click "unblock selected". Note that this doesn't unblock all unfortunately, just all that page, you need to do this multiple times

I have a feeling this is a documentation problem....

Wait, what if I'm subscribed to two blocklists, and I want to unsubscribe to just one? What's the recommended way to do that and unblock just that list's blocks?
