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.

            I tried that once and—as triggered this entire thread—notification from replies continued to vex me.

            I would also—while not knowing how you typically utilize your time—dispute that you aren’t wasting it.
            You could be learning Mandarin right now and instead you’re conversing with an annoying faggot.
