I noticed recently that someone I blocked in the past was able to downvote my post. I thought if you block someone, they shouldn’t be able to see my posts at all? We are on two different instances if it helps.

    oh, it’s not an instance-based option. it’s simply not how the service handles blocking.

    Edit: there was a big debate about it several years ago, and the lemmy devs were pretty straightforward that they chose to make it this way for a reason and wouldn’t be changing it.

      Also to add to this, Reddit blocks used to work like they do on Lemmy now, and the decision to change it there got a lot of negative feedback.
