Is Blocking Ever Going To Block?

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.

  • Block button closes your eyes. I'd still be there not fucking off.

    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!"

      • Except for the fact I will never see or touch that finger because I made it to vanish

        • You closed your eyes.

          • and it works!!

            • Everyone else sees a dude making rude gestures behind your head.

              • and why should I care? is not my problem anymore. Maybe you should learn to give zero fucks about what others do instead to overreact

                Edit. I have a nice song from the Simpsons for you

                • So to be clear, you'd be fine with someone following you around with a sign stating you fuck dogs, so long as you couldn't see it?

                  • Yes, It says more about that person than about me.

                    Imagine not having anything better to tho than follow me with a sign... that's really REALLY lame, I'm a nobody, following a nobody would be beyond pathetic. Why would I spend any energy on someone who is willing to downgrade themself to that level? I have pride, I'm worth more than that.

                    At the end that person will got tired of following me and not receiving any attention that they will leave because I did not give that person any power over me.

                    • It says you fuck dogs about you, and a bunch of people will see you not challenging the assertion because they don't know you can't see it.

                      They might think you fuck dogs, or ask you about fucking dogs constantly and then you have to bust out your "Not Involved In Fucking Dogs" T-shirt but we both now that will lead people to asking questions already answered by the shirt.

                      • They might think you fuck dogs

                        But I don't, and I know it, that's more than enought. The only opinion I care is my very own opinion

                        or ask you about fucking dogs constantly and then you have to bust out your

                        If people is too dumb to believe that it's a waste of time to try to convince them. I don't waste my time with dumb people
