  • Looks like that’s basically what’s happening now that I looked into it more. Like I believe the “hide” user button is the same (idk I haven’t been on the site forever lol), and the block basically blocks interaction but doesn’t hide it. Honestly makes sense because you could see the user who blocked you if you simply clicked a thread link in private browsing.

    Like if you replied and blocked me on Lemmy, I could still open the thread in incognito or whatever and see the whole public thread but not reply to you. Seems actually reasonable tbh, since the blocker and block-ee doesn’t lose or gain anything they couldn’t already do already.

    That’s the opposite of what’s happening. In this case, Musk would have blocked you, and you would want to see his posts (for some reason). You could normally see a user who’s blocked your posts by just opening the thread in an incognito tab to view as a logged out user. This just cuts out that step and lets you see the user’s posts without doing that.

    The ones who are most vulnerable to this change are the ones who especially should’ve left this platform already. I’m sorry, but they’re not being forced to use it, and everyone should leave it. I don’t have much sympathy or care about wanting to make an alt-right social media platform safer, I want it to crash and burn.
