I know we can just purge the notifications but I want to see responses more so from people I haven’t blocked than those I’ve blocked. I don’t want to know nor care about who I’ve blocked has to say to anything I’ve said towards them.
Why can’t we just block and their responses not be seen or giving them the inability to still reply to us?
I remember on Reddit, during the height of astroturfing and such during the pandemic, people would post stupid shit and block anyone who called them out for spreading misinformation.
At first I thought it was just people who had stupid ideas and didn’t want to change their minds, until I started seeing some of them saying things like “You know I’m right, which is why you won’t reply to this”…and the original commenter would never see it.
It was an effective tool for people who wanted to try to control narratives or otherwise spread misinformation.
