Transparency is needed particularly when a node admin does the blocking. E.g. mastodon.social currently blocks mg@101010.pl & does so in a deceptive way that disguises the fact that the ban is done by mastodon.social not 101010.pl. It’s an abusive Reddit-style shadowban that keeps both sides of the ban in the dark.

Of course when a bully is banned, then transparency harms bully victims.
The fedi needs to treat bullies different than politically motivated censorship.
MG is a beneficial svc but mastodon.social makes a value judgement to censor a fedi service from the biggest swath of fedi users. Abuse by admins needs transparency
