    I’m a devoted user of blocking. Happy to converse with people who take issue with my comments, but if they shift into angry insult mode, or all they’re doing is arguing against their own weird extrapolations of something, that’s when they get blocked. There are plenty of people in the world who are able to act civil when they don’t agree with somebody. There’s really no need to bother with the ones who can’t.

      Same. I’ve blocked ~75 users so far. I’ve had more than enough of bad-faith arguments and concern trolls in my life, shaving away the worst offenders doesn’t magically turn my experience into an echo chamber.

        Every time I use incognito window to see a reply from someone I’ve blocked (cuz old.lemmy does this thing where you can’t see any replies under you if someone you blocked replied as well), they confirm I was correct in blocking them.

          Do you mean it doesn’t show replies from blocked users (which would be correct), or that you can’t see replies to your comment if there’s a sibling comment from a blocked user? I’m slightly confused 😅

          But in general, if you find any odd behaviour or bugs in mlmym or if you have feature requests, feel free to send them to #mlmym:mschae23.de, !mlmym@lemmy.world, or mlmym@lists.mschae23.de, whichever you prefer :)

            This. If I want to reply I need to expand in incognito to grab the permalink.

            I don’t think I can.

            When someone ive blocked replies to me I see that “continue comments” link, which opens to nothing regardless if there are sibling comments from unblocked users.
