Re: "[#111] Blocking a user (two-way mute)"
But if you consider it to be public content, by blocking someone your content should have to be entirely private, else the second caveat would apply. I think I changed my own views.
I'd aggree with it on private instances, but on a public instance if every post is visible, whilst I understand you might want to block them, the caveat would make you have to make it login view only, but they could create more accounts so it'd be making a account private, but then having to have a allow/denylist would be a bit too hard I think. And it'd greatly reduce the userbase that can read your content, which in such a small community as this is splitting.

Original Post
Muting a user makes the target invisible to you and prevents notifications by the target. However, the target can still see all of your content. A block feature would do the same but also hide your existence, along with your content, from the target. Caveats: Other users can still quote or reference posts and comments by either party, circumventing the block. The target can log out or register a different account to view the blocker's content.
