    Context: Lemmy still allow people to comment on your posts or comments after you blocked them:

    Yes, they can comment, but the person blocking them doesn’t see it. The blocked person won’t know they are blocked, and the blocker won’t know the blocked person commented. I don’t see how that is bad. In the end, for the blocker, the effect is the same, is it not?

      i guess it doesn’t do anything for stalkers, which i think was the point of the OP.

      yes, it’s well and good to hide the content, but it doesn’t offer much protection aside from that. as the platform grows, that’s gonna become increasingly important…
