I’d take that over the situation now. At least if they had to resort to bannable offenses to retaliate, they’d actually get banned.

All blocking does now is give them free reign to harass you, which completely defeats the point.

Like if we have to be afraid of vengeful users who want to win something, why have blocking at all then? We might as well just bend over and hope they use lube.

The person you blocked can still see, and reply to, everything you say. It only denies you the opportunity to respond, allowing them to discredit you and turn others against you without your knowledge. It also doesn’t stop them downvoting you at all, leaving them free to retaliate via vote bombing.

They should be the ones unable to see any comments you make. They should be unable to reply or respond to you. They should be unable to vote on any of your comments or even posts at all.

But it’s the opposite, and therefore completely broken.

User blocking doesn’t work at all.

What you’re actually doing is forum sliding to protect corrupt Lemmy admins as if it’ll get you someplace, and it won’t.

I won’t play your stupid little game anymore. Bye

I don’t have to take action on a fact to have the right to state it.

You might not like the fact that Lemmy admins are just as susceptible to corruption as everyone else, but no one is going to stop saying it simply because you don’t want to hear it. And you can’t bully us into being quiet about it, either.

Will user blocking actually work the way it should now or is it still useless garbage that enables harassment?

Because I don’t have to for them to be terrible or to prove what I said is right.

Instance admins are already compromised sometimes. They can be bribed or get greedy.

He’s not wrong. 🤷

😨😨😨 They would have to use a picture of a bedbug, wouldn’t they?

I wasn’t talking about ads at all, but feel free to continue simping for a developer that clearly doesn’t give a fuck about you. The only one who’s going to suffer from it is you.

Uh no, we can hold adults responsible for their actions. If his livelihood depends on exploiting and abusing his users, he needs to go find a better livelihood.
