I assumed that moderators just ban people they do not like or at least remove comments. Blocking people that you do not like is helpful. Keeps your feed and comments section clean and brings less unfriendly behavior. I’m a huge fan of Lemmy’s blocking, it does not prevent the blocked person to comment but it does help the blocker to prevent seeing anything from the blocked person. Brings peace to both, one can simply comment and the other will not see it.
In my experience down votes basically exist to justify psychotic power mods being able to block people they don’t like.

From the context of my comment I thought it was clear by block I meant Banning. But I can see how you were confused by that.
