@gaeel

Thanks for the info, pretty scummy thing for people to do.

I hope the Pleroma devs can make such modifications harder ASAP.

@foxhkron @kat

Does Pleroma let instance owners ignore blocks on Mastodon?

@starfall @schmittlauch

That sounds like it could be the problem, thanks. Let's hope they patch this soon.

@maloki

Oh well.

Thanks for your help 👍

@maloki

They're on Pleroma, I'm on Mastodon.

Not getting a very good impression of Pleroma so far, it seems to be the platform of choice for people I've had to block 😞

@kat

Sounds like Pleroma has very serious moderation problems then.

It would explain why so many people that I block have Pleroma accounts.

@maloki

They replied directly to me.

The thread is like this:

-My public post
-Blocked person's reply to my post, which I can't see but which is visible to others
-Non blocked person's reply to the blocked person, which I can see

(That's how I noticed the blocked person's reply.)

@LuKaRo

It's not about me seeing them or even them seeing the post, it's about me not wanting a blocked person to be able to reply to my messages.

Someone else (that I haven't blocked) replied to the blocked person's message.

I don't want a blocked person being able to add their opinions to my posts. The potential for abuse is huge.

I've just checked the official Mastodon user guide, here's what it says:

"(blocking) will stop (blocked users) from seeing your public toots while they are logged in"

...so how can a blocked user reply to my public post?

@starfall

That's a pretty darn big loophole if it's true 🤯

@rin

Then what's the difference between blocking and muting?

I've just seen someone I've blocked for a long time reply to one of my public posts.

Anyone know how is this possible? I thought blocking meant the blocked account couldn't see or reply to what I post?

(They're on a pleroma instance, I suspect they host it themselves.)

@GoatsLive

I know, I have tried looking but cannot find the relevant part! :blobsad:

Wordpress people,

I need some advice: does anyone know why the page title on the "Simppeli" theme is forced into all capital letters?

I would like to use lower case for titles, but I cannot find the part of the "Simppeli" code that controls this.

Example in attached screenshot below.
