Blocking is an issue, since that can be weaponized way too easily: "I don't like your non-harrassing opinion, so I'll get two buddies to engage with you, then block you once you respond." The "dog house" could even work for cliques: If a certain number or percentage of your peers (as determined by follow relationships and metions) block a user (for themselves), the platform could make them disappear for you as well (unless you engage with them first). That should be good enough to keep adverse groups separated while avoiding the issue of "I'm not abusing them, I'm calling them out" that's already mentioned elsewhere.
