There is a big fucking bug in Mastodon's moderation features.
When I as a moderator suspend a remote account...
Expected behavior: The account can no longer be found or interacted with on our server and the account can't find or interact with accounts on our server.
Actual behavior: the account can still be found but is empty. there is a notice that the account is suspended and there is even still a follow button - it just doesn't do anything.
And the account can still see everything from our instance and interact with our posts. 🤯 Our users just won't reciprocate the interaction, because the reply won't appear here.

Additional ideal expected behavior: Previous replies to any of our posts by the suspended account won't be seen by anyone anywhere on the Fediverse - or at least not as replies to our posts, because our instance notifies/federates all other instances that these replies shouldn't be there.
