Mastodon's domain blocks & rationales ignore user approval when visibility set as "users"

Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Feb 27, 2025 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Mastodon is a self-hosted, federated microblogging platform. In versions prior to 4.1.23, 4.2.16, and 4.3.4, when the visibility for domain blocks/reasons is set to "users" (localized English string: "To logged-in users"), users that are not yet approved can view the block reasons. Instance admins that do not want their domain blocks to be public are impacted. Versions 4.1.23, 4.2.16, and 4.3.4 fix the issue.
