Hear me out, this is going to sound petty, but it isn't A user I don't know blocked me. I found this out because the user made a post, a user that I have never interacted with before, and I thought, eh, I'll make a witty retort like I always do. It was really funny, too, and in no way offensive to the user, again, someone who I have never interacted with. I can't comment. Fair. But if they post something that I can't comment on, and I have never interacted with that user, I view that as spam, which I do downvote. I don't downvote often, you can see on my account that I have only done it 8 or so times, and one of those was a joke. I understand being banned by a sub, and not being able to post there, but I feel like being blocked by a user, I should just be made invisible to them, but still be able to comment on their post. Or be able to downvote them for making posts that don't contribute to the conversation. Because I can't contribute. TLDR; I think blocking should be more akin to a mute rather than ban on replying to any posts
