@dielan @kaikatsu @shpuld @sjw I don't really care as long as its configurable. the default behavior poorly imitates twitter but servers can do whatever they want with federated content because the fedi is distributed feudalism.
if shpuld blocks me from shpposter.club I should still be able to reply to his thread from my instance. the reply I make will be federated like normal to other instances. shpposter might drop my reply because it mentions a blocked user (bad because nobody on shpposter would get it even if they follow me) or it could display it like normal to everyone except should (bad because it make blocks literally just a mute). a middle ground is to only display the post to people mentioned who haven't blocked me and my followers on shpposter (bad because messing around with the scope makes everything extremely confusing).
I prefer the third method because I am used to inconsistent and broken federation but they all have disadvantages. one allows any user to hide the visibility of any post that mentions them from everyone in their instance which violates the "thou shalt not hide posts from users that have explicitly subscribed to those posts" ideal. the other just makes blocks redundant.

@dielan @kaikatsu @shpuld @sjw
simply* not @ people who block you if you want everyone to see your reply
*not actually simple because you often don't know this information

@sjw tbh I didn't read this hell thread at all

@p @dielan @kaikatsu @shpuld @sjw block preventing following is dumb because it gives away that the block exists for servers that don't federate blocks and is another "hope the other instance respects that" operation on a trustless network.
there's no answer unless everyone adopts the same axioms for how federation should behave and what actions are more privileged than others, and then you bust out the set theory to figure out which version of block fits those axioms.
if I were a server admin I would just not have block as a feature at all because that kind of thing gives me a headache. users can just use mute or regex (which works better because you can also block replies mentioning people you don't want to look at). you can't stop someone from replying to you on bbs or forums or imageboards yet these places still managed to function years before social media came around and gave thread participants the ability to decide who gets to reply. what happens to federated messages outside of my domain is not my problem.
