    I would argue that there should be a block feature and also a mute feature. What we currently call “block” is actually just a mute.

      Mute really is better name.

      But block would mean activate a feed filter for someone else. Could abuse remote filter activate some way, probably.

      It probably also filter on instance side, so if instance of blocked person ignore request to activate block filter, block is useless. And block actually not do anything might confuse people or accuse dev of malice.
