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?

@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

@joepie91 defederating works for the most part, but it's hard to defederate whole, say, catcatnya.com, or woem.men
