How can you feel harassed if you don't see what a user is replying to you? Unless you pay a lot of attention to usernames...
Imagine finding out one day that someone you've blocked for harassment has been following you around and making nasty comments on every single post you made for months, or even leaking personal information. You just didn't know it.
It happens, and even on Lemmy you will have people who will do this (doxing will get a ban but other behaviors may slide under the radar, especiallyif the target doesn't see and report it).
But instead if blocking means they cant see your posts, can't you talk behind their backs without them ever even knowing about you?
I mean... Oh no, someone is being mean "behind my back"?
As for the personal info stuff... Why would they know personal stuff about you in the first place? Don't let people you know know your username on these kinds of websites and don't share personal info you don't want people to know about without a throwaway account?
