Reputation is indeed different from attitude, and skavau is correct that if a user casts (upvotes+1) downvotes, that user will be unable to downvote (I love when I can just paste the same link) however the reputation thing is still true, and skavau is wrong on that. There is however indeed (to my knowledge) no block on creating posts or comments based on either of the two.
Also, I doubt that skavau is correct that if we all used piefed, you wouldn’t be able to reply to users on other instances if they have blocked you. A quick look at the code hasn’t proven me wrong, but I’ll make two accounts on piefed instances and test.
Interesting, makes sense. Blocking alone may be correct in that if everyone had the same block protocol, ie Lemmy or PieFed, then consistency wouldn’t be an issue, but federation and defederation still remains open.
It would require blocks to be federated, as it is now that doesn’t happen, so even if you snapped your fingers and every instance was a piefed one, it wouldn’t stop people from replying to blockers.

That’s a bug, if so. As I have spoken to Rimu about this and he said that blocking is specifically meant to prevent the blocked user from replying to the other user.

Ah, gotcha! Thanks for elaborating!
Piefed fixes nothing. https://lemmy.ml/post/41950922 (blockers perspective, commenters perspective)
yeah of course. Like what is skavau talking about, does blud know how federation works?

Gotcha, makes sense. It’s only in limited, personal cases that it works, within the same instance.

Suggest to Rimu to start federating blocks or something?
