Not only do I believe this to be ethical, but I demand a ticker on the top of every page that alerts us every time someone blocks something. Imagine just seeing “[email protected] has blocked [email protected]” five hundred times because I keep blocking and unblocking my alts to annoy the entire fediverse. My utopia…
They can see everything in the database. So yes.
Would it be unethical to publish some novel stats that wouldn’t be available to users?
In my opinion, probably yes. If that information being made public is likely to make people feel uncomfortable, then its probably unethical.
Unless they were contacted and gave their consent. That’s a lot of unpaid work tho.
Yes, indeed that’s a lot of work. My block list is looooooooooooooong.
