Ah, gotcha! Thanks for elaborating!
Piefed fixes nothing. https://lemmy.ml/post/41950922 (blockers perspective, commenters perspective)
yeah of course. Like what is skavau talking about, does blud know how federation works?
Interesting, makes sense. Blocking alone may be correct in that if everyone had the same block protocol, ie Lemmy or PieFed, then consistency wouldn't be an issue, but federation and defederation still remains open.
It would require blocks to be federated, as it is now that doesn't happen, so even if you snapped your fingers and every instance was a piefed one, it wouldn't stop people from replying to blockers.
Gotcha, makes sense. It's only in limited, personal cases that it works, within the same instance.
