Even better if they can comment, but it doesn’t show up for you or anyone else.
This would be abused. Imagine I post some manipulated fake news or something. Then I block every single person who points out the bullshit in my post so no one sees it.
I can tell you it has been abused against me multiple times on Reddit. I called someone out for something wrong or bigoted they posted and they blocked me after responding, making me unable to respond back. And presumably kept posting stuff in the future that I just didn’t see, and wasn’t able to call out
It’s a terrible system as it just allows abuse by bad faith actors more than anything else

This happened exactly as you describe on Reddit.

reddit implemented that and I’m sure it’s abused
