I will also maintain that systems that block someone from seeing your message are simply a way to amplify eco chambers and universally bad. Nothing like being blocked and not being able to respond to a whole chain of comments or they do one witty (wrong) zinger, and block so you can’t reply, etc
Way too many apps implement a hide/mute functionality and then call it a “block”, though.
If I block someone, I don’t want to simply hide their messages from my view, I want them to not be able to see and interact with mine. It should be a restraining order, not just sticking your fingers into your own ears and shouting “LALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” while they continue to shout slander to anyone passing by.
