Oh, I never considered this before. I haven’t had any reason so far to block anyone, but would definitely like to know if the other party will be notified or not if it ever comes to it. I’d hate for bullies to find out if I blocked them or not, it would just encourage them to keep harassing me.
I would like to try an experiment, I’m going to block you (temporarily). Can you see if that symbol will pop up next to my name? I’ll unblock again in 24 hours or so.

Hi Thelsim, sure I'm happy to experiment with you. BTW I am using the Sync for Lemmy app for browsing. I haven't checked if things work differently on the Beehaw PWA.

On one of the previous social media sites I was using, there were a number of users who would chase and hunt down other users across various social media platforms to harass and bully. They mainly seem to target queer or trans women.
