i make myself available in various places online 24/7 with basically the only stipulation being that i can block the unstable people my persona inevitably attracts cannot imagine using FC to replace Twitter without blocks, especially as DAUs flood in it’s disheartening to see them keep conflating mutes with blocks

Are blocks possible with an open network like this?

perhaps it is against the ethos but it is 100% possible for them to implement a feature that allowed me to restrict someone’s ability to respond to my posts

That makes sense. There should be a way to prevent someone from following you or replying to you. They'll always be able to see your casts, though.

yeah i think that’s the conflation the team is making i don’t care if they can see my posts, you can do that on twitter with an alt i care about their ability to interact with my posts

@tomato.eth is right, blocking is trivial to implement in a centralized app, but very hard if not impossible in decentralized systems. You can’t trivially block someone from linking to your website or sending you an email. It’s just your apps that filter it out before you see it. FC works roughly the same.
