If you’d like to cut off contact from someone for any reason, you can block them by going to their profile or visiting your user settings.

Redditors you block won’t be able to access your profile or see or reply to your post or comments in communities, unless you are a moderator in specific situations.

From …reddithelp.com/…/4413520308372-How-does-blocking…. But I see that you downvoted that user for their correct information anyway without bothering to confirm for yourself. I find it pretty sad how people around here seem to be falling over themselves to defend the Fediverse at all costs without even discussing something or wanting it to be better.

I have literally always known blocking to be blocking, not filtering. Blocking blocks people on your phone, on chat apps, on Facebook and on Reddit. Not sure why this is a special case that needs to be forgiven or ignored.
