If instance A and B block each other, can a user on instance C still see all the posts from B and A?
What worries me is the drop in posts if things fracture.

Instance C is unrelated to A and B blocking each other. Why wouldn't it be able to see posts from either unless it was also blocked?
Okay but in post A, people from B won’t chime in, and conversely for things posted to B.
I guess instance C can make posts where both people from A and B can chime in. So would people in instance A be able to talk to people in instance B in the instance C’s comment section? Cause A people don’t want to hear from B people.
So we would still see less active posts as interactions would go down.
The users and posts in instance B are invisible to users in instance A. Regardless of if the messages are in instance C
So users in instance B would see a post in instance C in which user A and C are discussing something, and user B will see user C talking to hidden?
Yep. That's one reason I like the instance I'm on - I can basically see everything, and just block the stuff I don't want to see.
Yes, and even if A blocks B but A posts something on a community from C, then B sees it but A won't see their comments under it
