No, it’s more the other way around. You can’t block. Blocked posts/people still exist attached to your post, they can keep seeing your posts and replying to them, I’m pretty sure. All blocking does here is keep you from seeing what the blocked person is doing, but it doesn’t affect them in any way.
I guess it’s an expedient way to make them think you’re super passive aggressive. So… like a mute button.
I am not advocating muting over blocking. I am saying blocking here sucks, so “block fast” isn’t particularly useful. I’m confused about what part is confusing.
Ah, I see, initially it read to me like you were saying that you shouldn’t block people at all on the fediverse, not that blocking tools for it suck. I’ve had people be weird as hell about ever blocking anyone for any reason when I’ve posted stuff like this in the past.

If the block is a mute and you’re advocating muting over blocking them I’m not really seeing what the issue is.
