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.

A better way. When users need a sense of security, they mute someone and are immediately banned from the Fedverse. This way no one can bother them and no one can harass them again, it's for their own good.
