I just blocked this spam comment in the image and, while the responses were not important this time, I can no longer see why responses to this comment:
This tells me that I am potentially missing conversations where I may have blocked controversial individuals but I have also blocked everyone speaking to them.
It would be better, in my opinion, if just their comments were hidden and responses were still visible.
I think an option to hide blocked user’s comments would be useful in cases where replies to their comments are corrections or pushback that one may want to see and upvote.
I think so as well, but most of my blocking is trolls and spam.
