If somebody's being an antagonistic asshole they get banned pretty much immediatly because the mods understand there's nothing of value from some nazi coming in and quoting fbi crime statistics everytime somebody says you shouldn't murder black people.

Also nobody gives a shit about them reading your post it's the part where they respond like a nazi would that people have a problem with.

You can literally say "disengage" on this website to stop that shit and if the person keeps being a tool they can get banned just for that.

So yea that very much is what's happening here.

I think you're misunderstanding the change here. The change is solely about a blocked user being able to read the posts of the person who blocked them. This has nothing to do with banning or stopping them from being able to reply.
