Locking as this question volates rule 5.
Blocking here is simply a way to remove annoyances from your sight, nothing else.
If you need to prevent them from repeatedly contacting you, or spreading bullshit against you, or something similar, contact instance admins instead. They’re the ones responsible for keeping users safe.
Blocking you stops you from hearing from them, not them from being able to see you.
Otherwise it’d be used as a debate winner by stopping people from being able to respond for others to see.
Basically it’s predicated on the idea that if you can’t see it happening, then it doesn’t count as continued harassment and bullying.
Isn’t the way it works now also a debate winner? The blocked user can reply to you and you won’t even know, so you can’t refute whatever they’ve said (and if you’ve blocked them there’s decent odds it isn’t good).
Apparently this is how blocking works over here. It doesn’t make the blocked user unable to interact with you. It just makes them scream into a void. I think the idea is that if you block someone they disappear from your posts but not the other way around.
Yet that people still can annoy you and chat with you plus accusing you.
Don’t let that bug you. They are no longer taking up your time and energy, and that’s what matters. If they are an asshole, chances are high that others are blocking them anyway.
Is really stupid.
