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.

    So if you were having dinner in a restaurant with your special someone [just pretend you have one if you have to] and I simply don’t like you (and not because you were a nazi or a politician trying to strip me of healthcare—both categories of people should be ran out of public at every chance—I just didn’t like you) you would have no problem with me sitting down at your table and butting in to your conversation to say you were wrong about the truffle butter?

    If you were having dinner and said how much you liked your steak well-done—in public mind you—you wouldn’t mind if I kept telling everyone around you that you’re a piece of shit who ruins cuts of meat?

      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.

          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!”
