Example of a problem in the current design: ABC News joins Poal and blocks every non-shill from commenting on their shit.

Now, when others visit the ABC News post, all they see is comments from shills, giving a false perspective of reality. No one can dissent, becaue ABC News essentially made it verboten.

Seems to me, if people want to block someone, it should simply filter out their posts/comment threads, and nothing more.

Mainly, I want to tell people @MildSalsa is a time traveling bull man, but he's blocked me so no one can hear the truth. It is important people know this.

Any hope of having a filter-only option? So that discussions cannot be silenced when OP doesn't like what a user is saying?

These safeguards prevent the ABC news scenario from perpetuating ad-nauseam, but we still have the problem where I cannot inform people about @MildSalsa's status as a time-traveling bull man, because he's blocked me.

I realize the implementation of such a filter-only option could require a great deal of work (or be intractable). I do think it would be beneficial to the concept of free speech and the unabaited sharing of ideas. The current safeguards are great, btw. Well thought out.

That’s something we can discuss with @pmyb2. Anything/ideas that could help improving Poal are welcome. 😉
