MODERATORS
When you "block" someone on Reddit, they can see and reply to your posts and comments, they can search your comment history, which could lead to identification and doxxing. It's fucking bullshit. When you block someone they should cease to exist, cease to be able to see, or vote, comment or reply to your content, at all. Mastodon does this perfectly. Lemmy and Mbin do not. It's abusive and it's fucked.
Isn’t the problem that posts are public even to users that are not logged in? They probably feel like there’s no point in just forcing stalkers to log off to view them.
But a blocked user would just need to sign out to see all these things anyway. You’re just giving people a false sense of security. Does mastodon prevent non-longed in users from seeing your posts?
But they can't comment on them. To do that, they'd have to create a new account. And, if they did that, you'd see it and be able to report them (if it's a reportable offense, and, in most cases, it is) or block them (or both).
this is how blocking should work. if you are publishing something to the public, there is no reason to expect others can't see it comment on it
