After the test, I unblocked Aleksey, and this tweet includes the video where we saw that Aleksey could see my tweets in his timeline again. Something went wrong after that I guess. https://twitter.com/muratdemirbas/status/1062763863332937728

Yet, another update. It might be that since my tweet included a mention to him, Aleksey clicked on the notification and could see my tweets after that, and not in his timeline. We repeated the experiment, and found that after I blocked and unblocked him, he was indeed still unfollowing me.
Ah ok. :thumbsup:

I described how the logic works above, but we're always subject to and victims of replication or cache-expiration latency. So it could have been that.
