IDK, seems like blocking behaving like that on Lemmy could backfire, actually encouraging abuse.

For example. What happens if someone being malicious blocks you and then starts talking shit about you elsewhere in the comment thread? The person being abused would never know.

It's not even theoretical. Reddit implemented this and the exact behaviour you described happened. Somebody tested and documented it.
