I thought most stuff was viewable even without account. Doesn't seem like a big deal if you can view their post but not interact with it since I would've thought others interacting with you was what you wanted to block them from doing anyway.
If you’re blocking users left and right that you know spread misinformation, you will still see their posts. No way you can keep track of the usernames in your head, and now you may hear a misinformation or two and assume it to be a fact.
I think they are just changing it so the blocked user can still see the blocker's posts, not the other way around.
Oh, that’s just normal then
Wow, that was not made clear to me. Fortunately I've never needed to block anyone specifically from my profiles/content (it's the other way around, I don't want to see some other users stuff)
But good to know if I had a stalker or something, blocking them doesn't mean they are blocked from my content, it means they're blocked from contact.
I totally would have assumed blocking someone on various social media platform went both ways in terms of what's visible to each other.
