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
