One blocked user is blocking ALL users. You could make an account on piefed, block the entire fediverse, and Piefed will then drop all of it lmao.

Only in reply to you, either direct comment replies or if you are the poster then anywhere in the comments.

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.

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.
