blocking on mastodon, that user ceases to exist, and is no longer able to see, vote, or comment on your content. on mastodon, blocking is blocking
on lemmy/mbin, blocking only serves to mask that users content, though they are still able to see, vote, comment, and mine your content for descriptive data which can, has, and will lead to doxxing
"blocking" on lemmy/mbin is dangerous misnamed bullshit
I don't get why the distinction matters. From your view, it doesn't have an impact, does it?
How about we have some control over people cyber stalking us? Especially from trolls and bad actors
