Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

They wanted you to block them. So they could test if they could still see your comments after that.
That doesn't change anything. They're saying they were told if they block someone, XYZ would happen. And XYZ is what I described. What would changing the direction do? It's like just asking to be on the other side of the exact behavior that I'm describing. It doesn't offer new information.
Because they want to see if that is what actually happens. Come on man.
Literally look it up. It's published documentation. Go ahead and block me. I'll never know. I'm tired of trying to prove a documented fact.
You haven't done anything to prove anything lol all you've done is refuse to test it, get confused, and double reply to people trying to argue.
I don't need to prove anything. It's just a matter of fact. And I even offered to help you see how it works and you instead decided to double down on believing I wouldn't do so.
I need you to take a step back from the this post now. You’re continuing to be argumentative after a previous warning and it’s making this thread unpleasant. As you apologised and explained your first rule violation was a case of mistaken identity, I’m only going to ban you for a day and give you one more warning: Please read the rules in the side bar and lemmys code of conduct before participating here again. You will be permanently banned if you break the rules again. Thank you.
Plus, I already know for a fact it works that way. Because I experienced it. I blocked someone and then later, noticed they replied to me because I had not logged in yet.
Like, I don't think I should have to prove the way the published documentation says activitypub works. This is objective fact of how it works. There's no way for me to know who blocks me unless I admin the server where that person actually is and I modify the code to view it. But the activitypub protocol doesn't publish that and I totally understand why. It's like how Lemmy doesn't show aggregated voting, only the voting of that instance. It's extra info that needs to be added. Now imagine if every blocking action was also now encoded in an activitypub and every instance that read it had to keep that info. Databases would grow much faster than they do now. It's simply not effective. And it'd have to be repeated so new instances also will get it. So you're basically adding at least a daily or weekly posting, unencrypted of who everyone is blocking. All you gotta do is setup an instance and just ignore that data. But then you could easily target people who target you. Being entirely transparent is part of the reason blocking can't work.
