    post misinformation or spam or snake oil on a public forum and then prevent that public from seeing anything in the comments that might contradict you

    That’s what instance admins and comm mods are for

    Anything less than full blocking leaves a much bigger room for harassment.

      If a bad faith user has blocked people who might be critical of their misinformation or poor behaviour, there’d be no-one to alert the moderators.

      Someone tested the consequences of this type of blocking on Reddit.

        Piefed blocking should prevent the blocked person from replying to the blocker.

        I tried it a while ago, it was functional on the same instance, I don’t remember between Piefed instance or between Piefed and Lemmy
