The blocking feature on Lemmy is as broken as Reddit and he can still reply to my messages whenever he wants, I just can't see it.

Which is beef #56484783 I have with Lemmy. What I said should be silly, but it's not, because the core software doesn't fix the issues Reddit had especially with blocking. Blocking should give one the last word, but it doesn't.

And that's ignoring the fact that block evading is trivially easy as he can just bounce back here with an account on another instance, and even if a mod bans him, he can keep coming back with VPNs.

Lemmy as a platform is so fucked.

Oh man, you could have actually tried to explain why you think that article was relevant in the time it took you to type all that...

You don't even know how blocking works.

It just blocks you from seeing my comments in the wild. Because that's what blocking means.

It doesn't stop me from seeing and replying to your comments, because I haven't blocked you.

What is a glitch, is you still get this notification
