Is Blocking Ever Going To Block?

Currently users you block can still see your posts, reply to those posts, and trigger notifications when they do reply.

You can read the beginning of messages people you have blocked in your notifications tab, but have to unblock users to see the rest of what everyone else reading the replies to your post can see.

A "blocking" feature that is only inconvenient to the blocker is worse than no blocking feature at all, equivalent to trying to escape a fistfight by turning invisible but actually just closing your eyes.

Is not a matter if I have a problem or not. You can make a scene in public all you want, the place staff will ask you to leave if you do not behave accordingly to social norms

So you want to rely on the staff to maintain your peace?

You wouldn't want to have me fuck off at the press of a button?

Sounds like your way is what I described with extra steps.

So you want to rely on the staff to maintain your peace?

Yeah, is their responsibility

You wouldn't want to have me fuck off at the press of a button?

That's what the block button does. We already told you multiple times blocking is working as intended. You simply are behaving like a Karen

Block button closes your eyes. I'd still be there not fucking off.

Interesting the person advocating for keeping arguments going is calling the person who wants to be able to end them a karen.

If I block you you, then you are invisible to me. I don't care about what you do if I don't have to bear with you.

If you are a troll or someone who who systematically breaks the rules, people will report you and the staff (the mods) will tell you to fuck off, by banning you

That sounds like the same justification one sibling uses to justify hovering a finger a millimeter away from another sibling's face:

"You can't tell 'cause I'm not touching you!"

Except for the fact I will never see or touch that finger because I made it to vanish

You closed your eyes.
