💖 Mastodon::Entity::Relationship — a Mastodon relationship, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, it's Mastod...onship(3pm) if you're squinting at the header, and it's all about one lil object: a relationship. yes. the follow/block/mute kind. we love a situationship with your mutuals 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Mastodon::Entity::Relationship — A Mastodon relationship 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: do not build this object yourself. like, hands off. 🙈 it's meant to be generated from the data a Mastodon server sends you, using the coercions in Mastodon::Types. that's the whole pipeline, that's the vibe, that's the assignment.

if you want the current tea — the up-to-date info, not my paraphrasing — go look at the Mastodon API documentation:

<https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-the-API/API.md#relationship>

(that URL is doing the most with the line-wrapping in the original, but it's one link, i promise. copy it whole.)

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

these are the fields. the little personality traits. the whole vibery of the relationship. ✨

• id — the target account id. like, which account are we even talking about. the main character of this data point. 👑
• following — whether the user is currently following the account. true = you're in their replies, false = you're lurking. 👀
• followed_by — whether the user is currently being followed by the account. yes bestie, they followed back. 😭
• blocking — whether the user is currently blocking the account. the nuclear option. no further comment. 💀
• muting — whether the user is currently muting the account. still following, just… quietly. the "i still love you but i can't see your posts" era. 🙈
• requested — whether the user has requested to follow the account. the little knock on the door. pending. waiting. so suspense. ⏳
