Been doing this with a warning system. I tag shitty people and block them if I see a person who is tagged acting shitty.
2 years in, no regrets.
I do wish Lemmy would fix the blocking system though. If someone who I’ve blocked responds to me, I don’t see it. Fair enough, but I also don’t see what people who respond to that say. I feel like it should just show the username as [blocked] and the content as [hidden] with an option for me to show that content/username, while keeping the rest of the child content fully visible.
Show it.
Take for example the case where person A has blocked person B.
Person C comments. Person B responds.
New thread, same post, person C comments about how some people think like person B, and quote them.
As is the current case, person A can see this quoted material. It’s just text. It’s not in any programmatic way tied to the person B account.
We don’t need to change this just because it’s a child comment of person B.
