This incident is revealing so many holes in Kbin… for instance blocking the account doesn’t work, and reporting says that it doesn’t work either (giving the message “We are working on resolving the issues…”), but it might be working despite that actually… I can’t quite tell bc now pages 2 & 3 of this post/thread are entirely inaccessible. So moral of this story, if there is one, is that if you are on Kbin, try reporting it anyway and hope for the best outcome!:-P Edit: oh no wait, it definitely isn’t working after all, bc despite that about pages 2 & 3 after posting my reply but for some reason not before, those comments are still showing up. Kbin users just need to wait it out, it seems. Edit 2: nope, it seems to actually work after all, despite how it did not look that way at first.
TLDR: Kbin users may easily get confused by the interface glitches, but while blocking someone may not work right now, reporting them may (unless it was just coincidental timing on my part), so give it a try!
Oh that’s interesting - are you using mobile or desktop?
Also, on mobile, blocking seems to be working for me again (when accessing this thread via Notifications) - and instead of 3 pages there is now just 1 for this thread. Maybe I got thrown off by all the weirdness going on surrounding what happened during and after the blocking, combined with making a comment reply without reloading the page first, but I think you are right: it works after all!
Interesting, so blocking actually works from desktop mode? Thanks! I love the interface of Kbin and been very resistant to switching to Lemmy, plus then I’d have to tell everyone to follow me, and if I did not like the new interface than do the same again… and again, bc despite what we were told, switching later and having your profile follow you throughout the the Fediverse still is not a thing. So if there are ways to make the mobile experience better, even if it needs a minute on the desktop, that’s helpful!:-)

It seems to be working for me. I blocked that account, reloaded this thread and their comments had disappeared.

I’m on desktop most of the time, I haven’t tried blocking on mobile.
