Is Blocking Ever Going To Block?

Currently users you block can still see your posts, reply to those posts, and trigger notifications when they do reply.

You can read the beginning of messages people you have blocked in your notifications tab, but have to unblock users to see the rest of what everyone else reading the replies to your post can see.

A "blocking" feature that is only inconvenient to the blocker is worse than no blocking feature at all, equivalent to trying to escape a fistfight by turning invisible but actually just closing your eyes.

That sounds like the same justification one sibling uses to justify hovering a finger a millimeter away from another sibling's face:

"You can't tell 'cause I'm not touching you!"

Except for the fact I will never see or touch that finger because I made it to vanish

You closed your eyes.
