    blocking on mastodon, that user ceases to exist, and is no longer able to see, vote, or comment on your content. on mastodon, blocking is blocking

    on lemmy/mbin, blocking only serves to mask that users content, though they are still able to see, vote, comment, and mine your content for descriptive data which can, has, and will lead to doxxing

    “blocking” on lemmy/mbin is dangerous misnamed bullshit

      I don’t get why the distinction matters. From your view, it doesn’t have an impact, does it?

        Have you ever worked with someone who has trauma? Triggers are more than the actuality of an event but knowing that the possibility to be hurt again. I’m not going to say more, but there’s a lot more to be said.
