Do you like the way blocks work now that you can see a person respond to someone that blocked you, but you can't see the name of who it is anymore?

I think it'd be better to not even see the response at all. Now I'm wondering who they are talking to and who has me blocked 😂

Ah interesting, I'm still finding a lot of these new changes! In principle I like the idea of what I'm hearing, but there seems to be some things to iron out still, for example now editing a post often gives me "You didn't fill all fields" or something like that.

And if that block-change is true, I think it should've been an option you can choose. Or maybe it works differently depending who blocked whom? That would solve the choice. I've not seen it in action yet, but maaaaybe. It seems better than seeing just one side of the convo, usually including who it's addressed to.

And I only just realized what you probably meant, yeah it would probably be best to be able to completely hide convos where one party is blocked. But then people would be dicks and block you and then go post a blank reply to every convo, lol.

@Faust76 Aahh now I git it. Some more people need to block me so I know what's changed. So the only change is hiding exactly that "who to" I was talking about? Not necessarily very good as people still often make comments that make it very clear who they're talking to, including names.

Given what you can see, it wouldn't be too bad if you could see the whole convo with someone who has blocked you, but not who it is.

The possibility for people to hide a whole convo between uninvolved parties means that hiding the whole discussion isn't really good idea, but yes it bugs me when I can see only half of the convo and 1) Know exactly who it is from the context, 2) Have no clue what they're talking about, 3) Figure out they're talking about something I don't like, like myself for example, 4) Probably be completely wrong on all points. 🤣
