Answered Block user feature?

Is the block user feature working as intended? A user recently blocked me and now it will not let me reply to any of their comments. It is understandable for them to be able to hide any replies/posts on their end, but it appears that it prevents the post from going through at all.

If this is how this is intended to work I see this as a huge violation of free speech. If not, then it's not working as intended.

The important part is and has always been, you're preventing well intentioned users from discussing posts/comments because some faggot got his fee fees hurt. You can block votes, block notifications, but WHY prevent discussion. That's always been my point.

I guess the only alternative now is to create a sub where users who are blocked by someone can link to the OP and discuss it with others there.

I love how you make it sound like a definitive thing when it’s not.

As mentioned in the announcement about the blocked user feature update, when you reach level 30, you can reply to users and comment in their posts.

That's still a shitload of discussion limited arbitrarily. I'm not level 30 and I would never abuse commenting on the post/comment of someone blocking me. I'm sure there are many like me out there as well.

The level 30 requirement is there to prevent abuse.
