    Idk I think I can be in favor of this if it worked like this. I can block you and I won’t see anything you post and you can’t DM me, but you can see and reply to my posts (replys that I don’t see) so that you aren’t excluded from the general discussion that my post brings up.

      The problem now becomes that people will harass you and your followers on your posts way more easily now because they can just see all you do while you don’t. It enables people doing the harassment.

        But followers that don’t want to see it could also block those people no?

        If the point is to stop harrasment against the OP then it doesn’t matter if other people see those that the OP blocked. Hiding those blocked by the OP from everyone just allows the OP to create an echochamber centered around themself.
