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.

      You would also need to hide your comments from logged-out users, of course.

      Were I asking for private accounts (which might be cool in some use cases, but that can be achieved with a private server), but I’m not.

      No, my use case acknowledges people can rightclick “Open in private tab” and doesn’t care. People that obsessed are gonna find a way to fuck with you.

      I just want to be left alone by people who don’t care enough to sign out of their accounts.
