That sounds like a good feature?

If I blocked someone I dont want them commenting on everything I post and harassing me, especially if I can’t event see it but everyone else. Is that how Lemmy works?

    No, Lemmy allows someone you've blocked to reply to you, and everyone else can see it.

    Also, if it was just local, it wouldn't be as big of a problem, then the ui can inform people that they can't reply and they can then figure out what to do. The problem is that federated users can create comments that they dont realize will never show up.

    My least favourite lemmy feature. I don't like blocking people at all, because I'm worried about people saying things behind my back that I can't see. It seems like it would only give control to the blocked person, not the blocker.

    Exactly, it opens you up to slander. They could be saying all sorts of nasty things about you to other people and you can't even defend yourself from the allegations, and no one reading it will know you had them blocked.

    Oh, that's not good. I like the PieFed method more here.

    It sounds like piefed effectively shadowbans responders, though. Preventing people from replying to users who blocked them is the best implementation, but letting people think they've replied and silently hiding the replies, without even a message letting you know you've been blocked, is possibly the worst.

    I could be wrong about it because this is all incredibly confusing to me.
