You can still see their comments, unlike when your instance defederates from their instance. For some people, the ability to completely block all interaction with an instance is important.

It’s to block all posts from that instance, which I think is not enough.

We’re talking Lemmy or Mastodon? Because I’m talking Mastodon.
we’re discussing lemmy. because we’re on lemmy.
Ah, that explains all. There’s a mixture of both being discussed, including in the top comment. No problem, thanks for clarifying.
Thanks for asking. It’s better to know what page you’re on then to speculate wildly. Sorry for the confusion.
Ah, no wonder. Yes, I was talking about Lemmy, sorry.
exactly. it’s pointless.
