this helped clarify something for me. which was whether it just nuked the replies to the lemmy.world/sh.itjust.works comment, or only that one comment. seems like it just removes the entire chain.
Ya, it also works that way if you block someone too. Unlike Twitter/Discord which show “you’ve blocked this message”, on here they simply don’t exist, nor do any replies to them.
I’m not really in the mindset of blocking people, but that’s good to know.
Interestingly though, other instances can still see the full chain. I’m on vlemmy.net, and all of the comments are visible to me.
