They can see everything in the database. So yes.

Would it be unethical to publish some novel stats that wouldn't be available to users?

In my opinion, probably yes. If that information being made public is likely to make people feel uncomfortable, then its probably unethical.

Unless they were contacted and gave their consent. That's a lot of unpaid work tho.

Yes, indeed that’s a lot of work. My block list is looooooooooooooong.

Not only do I believe this to be ethical, but I demand a ticker on the top of every page that alerts us every time someone blocks something. Imagine just seeing "Rickyrigatoni@retrolemmy.com has blocked rickyrigatoni@lemmy.ml" five hundred times because I keep blocking and unblocking my alts to annoy the entire fediverse. My utopia...
