The reason you can’t see (all of) the stars from where you normally live is because you are too far away from them.
As you recede farther and farther from any object/light source, it approaches, then converges, and then is (ostensibly) obscured by/“behind/over” the apparent horizon.
The reasons this happens are due to perspective, and due to refraction caused by the density gradient in our air which tends to cause light which travels through it to curve convexly towards the ground.
I don't think that you actually understand any of the words you use there but please show me the calculations and distances involved.
How far away from the constellation of Orion am I on the Northern Hemisphere and how far on the Southern and what exactly is the cut-off distance beyond which it isn't visible anymore?

Lol.
but please show me the calculations and distances involved.
Calculations are what we contrive AFTER we measure first. If you want to calculate, make some measurements of the same star in the same position (multiple nights, obviously) from different known distances/locations to it and extrapolate from there. You will see that it does exactly as i said; as you recede the star will lower in azimuth until it converges with the horizon and you can’t see it anymore. Do you honestly doubt that?

I’m sure those answers are available to you if you want to go find them. It’s pretty standard astronomy stuff - go look it up if you’re interested! It doesn’t have much to do with what you asked though - that will just tell you how far you’ll have to travel to “restore” the stars you can’t see anymore.
I am talking about why you can’t see them anymore (they’re too far away), which is a different matter than how far you need to travel to restore them.
The light from stars travels billions of light years
I don’t believe such things, but even if it were true - it wouldn’t change what i said or the demonstrable reality of it. No matter how far away the light source is - as you recede from it (or it from you) it will appear to converge with the horizon and eventually no longer be visible.
only to be blocked
You misunderstand, that is your view. You are the one who believes that the light is blocked by the “curve of the earth”.
In my view, the receding light is first apparently converged with the visible horizon (perspective / angular resolution), and ultimately refracted, convexly towards the surface, by the density gradient in our air.
Makes total sense.
It does when you understand it. However, making sense doesn’t make it (or anything) correct. Reality is stranger than fiction because fiction is obliged to possibility.
Flat Earthers are unable to actually substantiate their idiotic fantasies
There aren’t really any “flat earthers”. There are just products and/or agents of the heavily advertised (i.e. funded) flat earth psyop.
As for “idiotic fantasies”, all i did was answer your question - plainly. I know you are more comfortable believing there is no available answer but the one you were trained to repeat - but this is essentially never the case.
Try to address the content of my statements, instead of resorting to vapid and self degrading ad hominem. Viciously attack the thought, if you are capable, but never the thinker - as the latter only demonstrates your incompetence to do the former.
Sure. (though “flat earthers” don’t really exist)

The light from stars travels billions of light years only to be blocked by someone travelling to the other side of a flat earth. Makes total sense.
