Did you read the rest of the sentence that you quoted?
> blocking never prevented the blocked person from seeing your posts
This is fascinating. It only stopped users that didn’t use alts or didn’t bother to open a browser in incognito mode and copy-paste the url to a user’s posts.
Do you think that the Venn diagram of “people that have been blocked by any user for any reason” and “people that use alts, clears out cookies, and/or opens incognito mode windows and copy-pastes URLs into said browser window to get around blocks” is a circle?
If your point is that from the perspective of someone intent on circumventing a block there is no difference between being blocked and not, then you either seem to believe everyone shares that motivation, or you don’t believe that user behavior is ever impacted by mild inconvenience or friction.
If it is the former, “everybody acts like a troll” is more of a personal opinion to reflect on than something useful for discussion, and if it is the latter then you have taken your time to go out of your way to share that you have never once designed anything for user interaction, which again isn’t useful for discussion.
Anyway, in your opinion whose user experience is improved by this change and in what ways?
