Oh that’s good to know, thanks. I wonder if it was something special for my instance, or perhaps using Blokada (I thought there were no ads in it, but I can’t imagine running a phone without that:-), or something else entirely. If I hadn’t moved to PieFed already I would have submitted a bug report. Perhaps I still should if it would help others.

But your scenario at least lessens the projected scenarios of who may be affected, which is good for the sake of making the Fediverse easier to use by more people:-).
