I sometimes block obnoxious people, but I only block myself from seeing them, right? Their newer comments will still be visible for anyone else. I guess the fediverse cannot handle real blocking of people, right ?
I mean I can understand (not in OPs case) sometimes you want to ban a person, not just block them (again, not in OPs situation, that’s just a childish mod).
You can also, before you block them as a user, look and see what they mod, if anything.
Block all those comms, then, block the user.
If everyone were to adopt a paradigm like this, active engagement with the… way that lemmy works, to express displeasure with certain people or comms…
You end up with a kind of dynamic equilibrium… people who are disliked, disagreed with… their comms just stagnate.
But, the whole trick is convincing people that… their engagement with lemmy as a system, as a collection of basically message boards run by people… well, it requires active engagement, if you don’t want it to redditify, ossify into cliques of ludicrous powermods.
An asymmetrically balanced psuedo-direct democracy, if ya’ll can keep it.
How does that interaction with moderation I wonder, like, if you moderate a place, you presumably need to be able to see what is going on in it, to see if something breaching whatever conduct standards you have has been posted. If you have a bunch of users that you can’t see, doesn’t that undermine your ability to do that?

Lemmy doesn’t, PieFed does.
If you block someone on PieFed their replies to your comment won’t federate out of the instance they posted it on.
Do you have any contact with quokk.au admin? There’s a serious problem with the troll using quokk.au as the instance in which to spam from.
Sorted.
Are you a mod there? Are you Quokk… or?
Neat!
Correct.
