pawoo doesn’t block baraag. I’m not sure why misskey.io does, I suspect it might have to do with how the admin interprets Japan censorship law as it pertains to online service providers, then again they also block a lot of other instances https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=misskey.io (scroll to the bottom)

It’s nothing to do with baraag, the problem is that they’re blocked by misskey.io. Been that way for a couple years now.

The reason why misskey.io appears reachable by baraag is because server-level misskey blocks doesn’t prevent public posts on misskey.io from reaching baraag’s database. Your interactions from baraag that target misskey.io accounts don’t get reflected in misskey.io’s database.
