If you block a troll, then you will no longer be able to report or monitor their bad behavior. So the problem isn't solved.
That's why the steps are ordered this way. First report, then block. And if you want to, you can view the reported post while logged out, check modlogs, etc.
I meant future bad behavior. A lot of people view blocking as a last resort and I think that's a valid viewpoint.
Just read my post text. This is about accoints that usually should get banned outright anyway.
They using new one day accounts that will be deleted in 24 hours, so its useless to block them
<.< This is an odd observation to be posted with a one day old account… 😅
I block for my mental health. Bad behavior is for the moderators to worry about. I got enough shit going on in my life to be a vigilante on lemmy.
How does block work on Lemmy?
On Reddit you used to be able to block to filter out the spammers but they changed it so it didn't block their posts.
On lemmy, if you block a user, you will not see any post or comment they make.
