If you're banned that person can't see your posts or comments, hon. I think the logic is to prevent less well-meaning users from mucking up a post's comment section unbeknownst to an OP.
And you can see how this thing is double-edged. Besides, replies still show up but they're collapsed by default <- how it was before this
there's also a sequel to this thanks to sibling comments here: https://poal.co/s/ModAbuse/305115
They still show up? I've blocked someone once temporarily so I'm still unclear of how it fully works. However, it's likely for the best you can't reply to people who've blocked you; sometimes you need to ignore others.
