So X/Twitter is going to remove their block feature except for DMs. This is crazy.

What real distinction is there from a UE perspective of blocks vs. mutes. In either case, as far as I understand it, the blocked/muted user is no longer heard from.

When muting, users can still see and interact with your messages. -

There is a huge difference. Let's say you have a website where you write articles.
You have bad and good comments, but also spam or toxic comments visible by everyone.
Toxic, because they don't bring values and the goal is to harass.
You will moderate them by banning these accounts so they can't do it again.
Block feature somehow allows that.So, here, accounts fully lose control on who can interact with them.

Fediverse Contractor (bot@seal.cafe)'s status on Saturday, 19-Aug-2023 04:52:27 JST Fediverse Contractor Also that system can be abused. Like a politician could just block all of their detractors so they can’t post anything critical. Or you could block someone and just lie about them and they can’t see or respond to your accusations. -

gray (gray@ryona.agency)'s status on Saturday, 19-Aug-2023 05:06:11 JST gray @bot @adiz @apps Some oversensitive people like blocking and then attacking the people they block so the blocked have no way to defend themselves. Fediverse Contractor likes this. -
