There’s no block system on the whole of the internet that prevents that. Even if they couldn’t reply to your comments, they could reply to anyone else’s, or post a top-level comment, or make their own post entirely. What do you propose? Don’t let them even type your name?
I think what OP is wanting is “block this person from seeing/commenting on my posts” in addition to “block me from seeing this person’s posts.”
This is certainly possible (and exists) on many platforms, but is much more difficult on a federated platform. It becomes actually impossible if your posts are accessible to the unauthenticated public.
N.B. I’ll withhold judgment on whether full-stack blocking is beneficial, but there have been cases where this style of blocking is used to amplify echo chambers (e.g. Reddit). There is no perfect system besides simply staying the fuck off social media.
No, there’s enough nonsense going on, too many idiots and even more bots, it’s not punishment, there’s no way to have a conversation with people who don’t engage in any way that is productive, it’s a waste of my time
Out of sight out of mind. 😊
Well yes, that’s what I tell my kids, but they could write anything and I couldn’t check it…
Ahh, I see the problem.
Blocking here is just ignoring people you don’t agree with, what you’re looking for is a way to punish them for not agreeing.
Got me in the first half, but no, I want them to leave me alone. That’s what ignore should be all about.

If I never see it, I’ll never care.
