 Private toots cannot be boosted. If someone you follow makes a private toot, it will appear in your timeline with a padlock icon in place of the Boost icon. *NOTE* that remote instances may not respect this.

 #### Blocking
 
-You can block a user to stop them contacting you. To do this, you can click or tap the Menu icon on either a toot of theirs or their profile view and select "Block". *NOTE* that this will *NOT* stop them from seeing your public toots; it will merely hide any and all communication from them.

To do this, you can click or tap the Menu icon on either a toot of theirs or their profile view and select "Block". *NOTE* that this will stop them from seeing your public toots while they are logged in, but they *will* be able to see your public toots by simply opening your profile in another browser that isn't logged into Mastodon (or logged into a different account that you have not blocked).
 
 Mentions, favourites, boosts or any other interaction with you from a blocked user will be hidden from your view. You will not see replies to a blocked person, even if the reply mentions you, nor will you see their toots if someone boosts them. You will not see toots mentioning a blocked person except in the public timeline.
 
-The blocked user will not be notified of your blocking them. They will be removed from your followers, *but* will still be able to see any public toots you make. Blocks do not federate across instances [TODO: what does this specifically mean in user interactions?].
