Blocking a user behaves more like mute. Proper blocking needed to prevent harassment. (slrpnk.net)

The block feature should be renamed to “mute”, which is what it seems to actually be. Currently I can apply this to a user and they can still see all my posts. So it’s a good mute feature but a terrible block feature.

I wish blocking communities worked more like mute. There are some I do not want to see on my feed but from time to time may feel like browsing them.

That's what "subscribed" is for, no?

On the other hand blocks/mutes are there for a reason, and I can't think of a good reason outside digital self-harm to remove them.
