If you need to block your local instance admin then you probably shouldn't be using that instance...
In a lot of communities there is frequently one jackass in power while everyone else in power is cool, and being able to ignore that one person is helpful to avoid their behavior from spoiling the fun of the community for me.
It's like RoboCop having a meltdown when he tries to arrest an OCP officer
What a reference! Amazing
Not being able to block a moderator is genuinely hilarious.
You can definitely block mods, and also admins of other instances.
But I don't think you can block your own instances admins, but if those people are worth blocking maybe you shouldn't be on that instance...
Fair enough.
Does blocking mean the blocked user can no longer see your posts/activity? Therefore blocking a mod would make it harder for them to ban you?
Blocking means you no longer see their posts, and they can't comment on any of your posts. If they've already commented or replied to you, the messages are deleted (hidden?).
Works fine on Sync :,)

It sounds like Sync is either blocking users client-side (which would be confusing, since server-side blocks do exist), or it is trying and failing to add a block server-side but suppressing the server's error message.
either way, it sounds like a bug.
do you know where the project's github is so someone can open an issue about it?
Sync has filtering done in-app. Maybe that's what they're referring to.
And when reddit went ham on third party apps the developer asked his users what to do and we asked him to port to lemmy.
Sync filters a lot in client.
Is it? I don't get it. I thought this is just how Lemmy and reddit both work.
Erm... I think you can't block that admin. Just a hunch, but that might be what's up here.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Can't relate.
