mastodon meta question
Huh. If you block person A, and person B then responds to you but also mentions person A somewhere, person B's message never shows up in your mentions either, despite never blocking or muting them?
Is it *supposed* to work this way?

@jacksonchen666 That's... very weird, and unexpected, and I'm not really a fan of it... that seems like an easy way to make people feel like they're getting ignored for no reason :/

@joepie91 pretty sure this was intentional for replies to person A, but i guess it might be more nuclear?

@lnl I can understand to some degree for replies that are primarily to person A, yeah, but just muting anything *mentioning* that person seems... like something that should probably be an opt-in thing?

@joepie91 after a quick look through my own blocklist, i very much stand by the decision to make it work that way 💀

@lnl I guess I end up using the blocking feature pretty differently because nearly all of the instances full of assholes are blocked on an instance level here

@lnl (...which, ironically, I don't think hides notifications referencing people who have been defederated from?)

@joepie91 defederating works for the most part, but it's hard to defederate whole, say, catcatnya.com, or woem.men
re: mastodon meta question
@joepie91 that kinda seems like how mastodon functions from what I can tell. as to why that, I dunno
