An artist I follow posted an art piece some time ago, and the option to leave a review or favorite it was missing. i looked, and the buttons are gone for all of their posts, and i can't message or unfollow them either (the art pieces i already favorited are still favorited). other people seem to be able to favorite and leave reviews on them. did they block me or something like that? if thats the case, seems odd that i can still see their page and they show up in my favorite artists feed

They blocked you. You're currently unable to unfollow people who blocked you, but that's being worked on.

ah ok. that’s too bad, i wonder why they even blocked me in the first place
