  • I really don’t think blocking should prevent people from replying to you. I believe it should hide the content and not send you notifications, yes.

    At the bare minimum, blocking should only prevent you from directly replying. On Reddit, if anyone in the comment chain above the comment you’re replying to had blocked you then you couldn’t make the comment.

    I’m willing to discuss this, my opinions aren’t rock solid on this.

    In cases of harassment (what I view as the strongest counter argument) I think mods/admin need to take action by banning. Like if someone puts a comment on every post I make saying “JackbyDev is a doodoo head” (or something actually offensive lol) then that’s harassment. I’m having trouble thinking of any problematic behaviors that wouldn’t qualify as harassment that allowing someone to comment in reply to would actually prevent.

    (None of this comment has anything to do with blocking an instance which is a separate topic I have separate opinions on.)

    I remember a movie called Caffeine from when I was a kid and one of the characters had a nervous bladder. One of his friends kept telling him it might be prostate cancer (while he was trying to pee) and it only made him more frustrated and nervous.

    Later in the movie, someone is being mean to him and he just snaps and lies saying, “You know what? I’ve got cancer! So back off!”
