@_elena @cwebber I was about to ask why is this important but reading the interactions to this toot I found that people consider blocks much more important than I do. In any case I don't really see why is this a problem when there is an alternative mechanism like mute, that is not public.
@ruisan @_elena Well, Block does something else: it informs your server the user should not be listed in your replies, which is important when people are harassing you. (Ask me how I know!)
