View submission: Announcing Blocking Updates
This is exactly how it’s gone so far. People post something a little extreme or insane and you comment something challenging that view and they just block you. Now you can’t challenge anything else in the comments, and the echo chamber deepens. This is accidentally replicating the effect Facebook tries to create.

I’ve seen people work around that by editing their comment stating that they’ve been blocked and posting their reply in the edit.

Horrible. As someone else pointed out, there may be very few users who can call BS. Three or four blocks may allow for misinformation spread.
We should all be browsing on alts, I suppose…
