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.

    You mean people who were blocked could still reply and they abused that attribute of the block system?

    Or do you mean people could say, “Go fuck yourself.” block and the blocked person couldn’t reply?

    …because I’ll be honest that second one sounds exactly like what I want to be able to do.

      I’m not sure which they are saying but the second one is how reddit worked. You can not reply to people who have blocked you but you can see their comments.

      You can’t even reply to someone else’s reply to someone who has blocked you.
