This is why "disable inbox replies" is such a great feature that I wish Lemmy would implement. For when you still have something to add, but it looks like the conversation is going downhill, the thought of further responses is causing anxiety, and you know the right choice is going to be to let the other person have the last word anyway.

The block feature is wonderful for this. I'm starting to use it liberally when I just can't be bothered to deal with someone anymore. I don't know if there's a mute user function as well, but that would at least let them yell into the void instead of being blocked outright.

iirc block on Lemmy is "mute" and it doesn't work like Reddit with preventing any interaction with any posts or comment threads you started (which I'm glad about, Reddit's block imo is a horrible way of doing it).

Personally I don't like the block feature for this for two reasons:

it only targets one user, normally it's more "I want to stop talking about this for now" than not wanting to talk to one person in particular
I won't see anything from that person in the future, which isn't what I want unless they are really awful, just want to be done with that specific comment thread despite having some degree of respect for the people in it

Yup, though on the upside notifications seem to only work half the time here.
