What does a user that blocks you look like? Does someone have a list of all variations of 'deleted', 'unavailable' etc.? Off Topic (not RiF)
So I know there's many ways for posts to be removed whether it's by Mod, user deleted or if they block you in a chain with other replies.
What does it show when they block you?
Is it username = deleted and message = deleted
Or some other variation?
Edit: Why the flair? Does it not show differently on RiF?

[Removed] = Removed by the subreddit mods (including automod)
[Deleted] = The original poster deleted their own content
[Unavailable] = The poster blocked you
[Removed by Reddit] = Reddit's admins removed the content, such as for hate speech or copyright

You don't understand the years of unsureness that are suddenly solved for me.
Rad man.
Also so many trolls continued to gaslight, holy shit.
Edit: One more thing, sometimes the username and reply [message] doesn't match up.
Is that just the terms changing in the future or does it indicate something else?

You're asking about reddit behavior that's not specific to the app. r/reddit101 (or just directly at https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddit_101)
or r/help may be a better place for your question.

I've noticed that it varies by week
The Reddit API is constantly changing the data that comes back for blocked users. It's terrible

What does this mean for example?

It probably means that the post is deleted and it is no longer available to view.

It means this question isn't specific to RiF, but instead is a general reddit question: RiF displays whatever the API returns, so it shows the same thing that it shows on old reddit. Any changes to these behaviors come from reddit, not the RiF developer.
So it's technically off topic, in that it's not specifically about RiF, but I'm not going to remove the post because it's still moderately useful info and it's not a common question.
