A true block like on Mastodon where when you block a user they can’t see your profile or posts, and can’t comment on your posts, they simply cease to exist.
That’s a block, what the sites like Lemmy/KBIN have is not a true block, like Reddit, it’s a mask, where when you block a user, you no longer can see their posts and comments, which is no small blessing, but they can still see your profile and your posts and comment their filth on them.
This has got to be changed to where it’s a true block, because allowing the monsters to have at your posts, with no way to stop them, is simply abusive.
I’d rather they added some kind of feature to moderator tools to track people who frequently respond to users that have blocked them. The way Reddit handles blocks is really disruptive and often abused by spammers and others.
Due to federated nature of Lemmy/Kbin, your block list will be available publicly (at least readable to random 3rd party servers) in order to implement this. Some people already not comfortable that their downvotes are not private, and may also freak out if their know their block list are not private as well. Not sure if mastodon also have issue or not though.
