No., you are blocking them, you can't force them to block you.
no, blocks don't work here like they do on reddit. a block only mean they you won't see them anymore. they can still see you and interact with your posts/comments.
Are you sure about this? I went to go read and found blogs saying that blocking stops interacting while only muting stops yourself from seeing their posts

That’s a different platform (mastodon in this instance, which has symmetrical blocking). I’m referring to Lemmy. I believe piefed and mbin do the same thing.
edit: the post discusses account portability-- while the block, itself, carries across federated services, how that block functions depends on the service itself. Lemmy/piefed/mbin and Mastodon blocks don't work the same way.
That's crap. Thank you.
No, doing anything else would be crap. You are free to ignore whomever you want, but demanding right to control what others see is insane.
No. I should be able to stop other users interacting with content I create if they interact in bad faith.
No, you should not. You have a control over what you want to see. You are not in control of what others want or can see and demanding otherwise is just laughable. Once you publish something on online discussion forum, people can see it. Deal with it.
Can you read?

I can. Can you? The fact you are mad you can't censor people does not mean i can't read.
I misread the following part and mixed up people, op was not op of the linked post, the post was actually about him and he does not like it.I apologize for the confusion.
Tap for spoiler
So i used my power of reading to check what the problem is.

You want to ban "bad artists" from the comics community and you are mad you can't do it.
Here is a solution to your problem. If you really do have "consensus" as you claim, take all the consenting people, go and make your own comics community, with blackjack, hookers, and your own rules you can enforce.
That is how it works.
I can.
Good. Now read again as you definitely had the wrong end of the stick.
You want to ban "bad artists" from the comics community and you are mad you can't do it.
Ehrm, no. Quite the opposite. I want whingers to stop seeing comics I post so they stop moaning.
Touché, my bad.
The rest however still applies. What you are demanding is not possible and never will be (for good reason).
The only way you could achieve what you want is either with action of the mods, or by establishing your own community, where you can ban whomever you wish.
Why do you want to violate other's autonomy?
Do you try to control the actions of other people to conform to your personal will in real life to?
If you don't like what someone is saying or doing you always have the option of ignoring it and moving on with your life.
Edit:
Weird, you seem to have understood the concept here. Wonder what happened to make you suddenly change tack.
Careful, OP's sensative and they'll get mad if you call them out for being a hypocritical toolbox.
Guess they'll just have to block and move on with life.
I don't think that they're physically able to, seeing as they're still arguing with all the 'moaners' 🤔
Is it?
Everything is inherently public. Every post and comment is available to anyone with an account and everyone without one. All one would have to do is log out to see all your stuff again. You can't really block people from seeing you, when everything is always public.
It's crap that I cannot stop them interacting rather than just seeing.
It’s actually better. If they were prevented from interacting with you, they could just make another account and continue.
This way they don’t know they are talking to the void.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
