Comment on TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo

Literally every forum, chatroom, and social media site outside of TikTok works the same way it does here. Including Facebook and Reddit. The only thing Reddit does special in this, is that blocked users engagement doesn’t appear to you either. So if you block user ABC, they will still see your posts, but if they vote on it, you won’t see that vote.

When you block someone, the first thing that Facebook does is restrict the blocked user’s access to your profile. The user can’t view your profile even if they have a direct link to your account page. They’ll get an error message if they try to do that.

You can keep making these bullshit statements about how it works on other sites but thankfully I have this thing called ‘internet’ to look up the facts myself.
