@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 :/

@jacksonchen666 (and now I'm wondering how many replies I have missed due to this)

@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

@gsuberland I've only ever clicked 'block'. What Mastodon does with that internally, I have no idea.

@joepie91 I have two separate options, so if you only have one then maybe it's your client doing something odd like issuing both a block and mute at the same time?

but if you have both and you're just using block, and that's resulting in all posts being completely hidden, then that's rather odd.

@gsuberland The latter; I've only hit 'block', definitely not 'mute'.
