Err... you know all these comments are posted publicly and anyone can view them, right?

At least on Twitter before Elon changed things, the same thing applied, tweets were public but you could still block people.

Currently, X displays a “You’re blocked” message when trying to view the profile of a person who’s blocked you. In addition to blocking all posts, it also prevents you from seeing their replies, media, followers, and following list.

Did twitter have private accounts?

Yeah locked accounts are pretty commonly used in conjuncture with public accounts.

I can't see them. I can only assume [TheAlbatross(https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/TheAlbatross) has blocked me.
