I can't be the only one that realized that the new block feature actually makes things much worse, from both a safety and harassment perspective, as well as a open discussion perspective.
Users can now block others to prevent them from both replying and seeing their posts..
So a malicious user (which now happens much more often...) can post any amount of malicious, fake, or personal information about a user. All the bad actor has to do is block the victim, and the victim never becomes aware of it unless a third party user notifies them. This also completely stifles any open discussion or fact checking of misinformation. The **VICTIM** should get to decide what content they see or not, not the bad actors. The victim should also be able to respond to fake posts.
This is a HUGE step backwards in terms of safety and harassment.
There's nothing here!
