"all your replies to the person i blocked showed up as notifications (kinda defeats the point of blocking someone if you ask me) " lol, I thought it severed the context from the thread entirely. so the OP is getting constantly pinged by a thread fragment that has no visible connection to the OP at
i do wish i could see the context- tbh i prefer Elon's version of block where it is blocking interaction but not visibility of public content.
