Ugh, reading that gave my flashbacks to clubhouse moderation, how one person blocking you would prevent you from seeing any room they were speaking in, how you get silently kicked from a room if someone who blocked you is upgraded from audience to speaker, and if someone who has you blocked joins a room you’re already in, cue Fred Armison, believe it or not, straight to jail!
Worst of all this was all opaque to the user on both ends, manifesting as merely glitchy behavior, but I was causal in blocking people who annoyed me because I didn’t think there were any consequences besides not being able to follow/DM me, and this guy I didn’t know ended up contacting a mutual friend begging me to unblock them because I had suddenly excluded them from all the rooms that we were both spending time in!
Maybe there needs to be more nuance in the block button, like, what kind of restraining order are you looking for here, don’t call me? Or don’t ever interact with me or my friends ever again? Platform needs to make consequences of hitting that button clear tho.
