I would prefer if people I block couldn't see anything I post

Err... you know all these comments are posted publicly and anyone can view them, right?

At least on Twitter before Elon changed things, the same thing applied, tweets were public but you could still block people.

Currently, X displays a “You’re blocked” message when trying to view the profile of a person who’s blocked you. In addition to blocking all posts, it also prevents you from seeing their replies, media, followers, and following list.

Did twitter have private accounts?

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 hours ago

Yeah locked accounts are pretty commonly used in conjuncture with public accounts.

I can't see them. I can only assume [TheAlbatross(https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/TheAlbatross) has blocked me.

Who said that?

One of the problems is that if the post is public, anyone you block could just log out and see your post.
