> otherwise-public posts If the platform is pseudonymous and allows individuals to create multiple identities, such that it's trivial for those you block to view your posts from a different identity, or even by not logging in at all, then "blocking" isn't really blocking anybody except the lazy and the ignorant. In fact, since most users don't think it through this far, even providing such a fake "block" function is inherently deceptive and user-hostile.
