yeah blocking is important for legitimate safety reasons but also it’s just so neat to click a button and a weird guy who talks like he’s in fallout new vegas goes away forever

how would this possibly work when you use one profile to access someone's account it works and another it doesn't work. no matter how you implement it the other party will always be able to gain knowledge they've been blocked because of how the feature works
Yeah. If you block someone, you should look like a user account that doesn’t exist when they search for you. Replies to you should either be hidden as well, or look like someone is responding to nothing.
The blocking system on here rocks. They're just zapped out of existence. No temptation to lift up the log and see what's writhing around underneath that blocked post notification, they're just outta here

The idea is to make it onerous to do the Bad Thing. No one is saying “why is there not a button that will delete someone from the universe.”
Also Twitter bans sock accounts all the time. Totally manageable.
Like nobody needs to have to explain “hey your cute dog reminds me of my abusive mother” or whatever
I don't want to meet or interact with basically any of those motherfuckers irl
PS: on Twitter I must have blocked over 300 *people*
Plse following me
Except for the legion, fuck those guys (what is console command for block?)
