Blocking a user behaves more like mute. Proper blocking needed to prevent harassment. - eviltoast

The block feature should be renamed to “mute”, which is what it seems to actually be. Currently I can apply this to a user and they can still see all my posts. So it’s a good mute feature but a terrible block feature.

    Yeah, I block a lot of people. Mostly because I don’t ever want to get roped in an exchange with them again.

    Lots of them follow me around and keep replying, but who cares?

    I don’t see anything from them, which is what blocking is supposed to do.

    It never made sense on Reddit where you’d block someone and still see their comments but they can’t see yours.
