how does reddit blocking work exactly?

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 won’t see u/IAmABlockedUser’s content and they won’t 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.

Eventually Reddit's engineers and researchers found out that hiding the comments everywhere was not such a good idea
