They shouldn’t be able to do that!

    If I block them, I want to stop them from engaging with me.

    That’s exactly what happens. They can no longer engage with YOU because YOU no longer see THEM.

    It’s a curtain, not a door.

      Engaging with me is more than my ability to respond.
      Them replying to my content is still engaging with me, no matter if I can see it. Them telling misinformation to other people in my thread is still engaging with me.

        You are (I know this is a shock) not the centre of the internet. Your inability to police what other people say is not a bug, but a feature.

                My statements here, but you knew that. Once again if you feel other wise, please use the report feature.

                  i didnt say you were harassing anyone. i said you were protecting the ability to harass people. which is a really strange thing to do. kinda like American 2nd amendment freaks.

                    More 1st amendment (not that I am american). I think I made it clear that what you propose will do more harm and that what I am protecting is the ability for everyone to post on a public site based on the idea that it is what it was built for. I don’t think that lemmy has no harassment, but reporting and having much more private communities ran by members of that community is a better choice then giving every single person (the harassers included) the ability to police what is typed everywhere.
