@lxo I *might* know who you are talking about, and if we are talking about the same person, I told her about this issue myself. If she is at octodon.social, the issue is that they have "Authorized fetch" enabled; we don't have that in GS yet, and what you are saying is one of the most annoying consequences.
Anyway, if I'm wrong, please use the mail at https://gnusocial.net/doc/contact as internal DMs are broken right now. And thanks for reporting!

Alexandre Olivaspeaking of updates... an acquaintance of mine transitioned years ago, but our instance still shows her dead name. I find that somewhat dissonant myself, and I suppose she'd be quite disappointed to find out it's still there. was your script meant to update that too? in case you'd like to look into it, I can DM you her handle.
