How do you mean they misunderstood the point?

They want people who they don't like to completely removed from a platform like it is done on reddit when commentary is not sanctioned. Fedi's system inherently can't enable this because of decentralization.

Another one, is that someone will get upset because person they blocked can still leave comments under their comments that they don't see. They don't like that person they blocked can still opine in the discussion.

Do you mean like that instead of banning you just squelch them instance by instance, solve the problem that way?

I am not following this. But the general idea of Fedi, you can get kicked out from a bar but not the town.

The idea that social media website can ban you generally because reddit admin decided so is what fedi is addressing among other issues with centralization.

Granted you can still get banned every hot bar in the town but that requires you piss every fucking server admin lol
