Ngl this seems more like an issue of culture than of technical features. Like I said in the matrix chat about this, if a block feature allows a user to continue commenting on another user’s posts after being blocked, that block feature is broken and it will be taken advantage of by harassers. I know that from experience running an instance with a high number of marginalized users and a couple bigots with way too much time on their hands to spam new accounts. I want to specify that it doesn’t seem like you’ve harassed anyone here. I’m just saying that these are the sorts of situations the feature is intended for and breaking the feature is likely not the solution.

Is it safe to say the underlying issue here is that a user is spending way more time here than most people and is using that to throw their weight around? Because that’s an issue that happens just about everywhere online. Social media is by its nature manipulatable and the more attention someone has to dedicate, the easier that process is
