What does blocking on kbin actually do? I’m asking because it seems incomplete, to put it mildly. If you block someone, they can still see what you post and reply to you and you’re still sent notifications of their replies, even though you can’t see the comment itself (or any replies other people make to comments of an account you blocked). Plus, I blocked someone who was spent the last day downvoting literally every comment and post I make, and they’re still able to see and downvote my replies and posts. So what exactly is the point of blocking, if it doesn’t actually block people? Is this something that’s going to be fixed in the future?
EDIT: Oh, hey, the irony, the person I blocked was able to see and downvote this post. Which just proves my point, I suppose - block is either busted or what it actually is for needs a lot of clarification.
@ernest - just a heads up that I’m experiencing the same bug - notifications from blocked accounts. Wouldn’t normally be an issue, but we’ve got a couple of trolls that like to go back to old threads and keep replying to try and bait a response.
And eventually, there will be issues with harassment, because that’s just how idiots on the internet are. This is something that needs to be fixed before it becomes an actual problem, I reckon.
Damn, they really don’t like you. Have an upvote as fucktard insurance.
The absolutely wild thing is, I literally have only replied to them once, the first time, when I requested they not be a dick to someone. Oh boy, did they take it personally.
I’ve got a couple like that, especially after I ended up kicking the hornet’s nest that’s noagendasocial.com. In my defense, they deserved it as they’ve got literal FSB agents posting there, and I was under the mistaken impression that Adam Curry still had a soul.
On the plus side, Adam Curry labeled me an official disappointment of his, so I guess every troll has its silver whining.
If you’re going to kick a hornet’s nest, kick a big one, eh?
Ah, we finally got to the point of “anyone who disagrees with me is a troll.” Took longer than I thought. This thread is becoming a great way to populate my blocklist.
Nope, just don’t wanna deal with fucktards after I’ve blocked them. Shouldn’t have to deal with them 2-3 weeks later popping up on my notifications - not a big ask. Dunno how you got offended seeing as I have no idea who you are.
This dude (the one you replied to) is one of or the person going around on downvote rampages. I noticed this guy downvoted pretty much all my posts for some reason, no clue who he even is, and don’t recall having any interactions with him.
I swear, some folks on here really need to get a productive hobby.
Looking at your reduces, the same person is down voting all my stuff, too. They’re probably running a script or something
What a fricking weirdo.
There needs to be a way to report someone to their instance, not just the mods of a magazine, like you do on Mastodon. People like this being a nuisance across magazines need to be handled at the instance level.
