I thought I understood this new blocking feature but I'm now confused. A guy blocked me for no reason (I didn't even reply to any of his comments), so I can't reply to his comments, OK, but I can still see them. I can't see them on his userpage, but I can see them fine in comment threads. This is from the r/blog announcement:
Previously, if I blocked u/IAmABlockedUser, I would not see their content, but they would see mine. With the updated blocking experience, I wonβt see u/IAmABlockedUserβs content and they wonβt see mine either.
So... is that just not true? It blocks the userpage, blocks replies in threads, and literally nothing else?
Also, by the way, it's a tool that has hilarious potential for frickery and annoyance, since if person A starts a thread, and person B replies, then person C replies to person B, if A blocks C everyone (except A of course), including B, can pile onto C and they can't reply.

Yeah, I block everyone, they can see my comments but they can't reply when seething.
