Just telling us “but someone else told me it’s bad” contributes nothing to the current conversation if you cannot tell us anything about that discussion.
Giving every user access to a type of power that is known to be abusable is not a good solution. As I said at the start, we’ve seen this with Reddit. We’ve seen why this is not the right way.
i didnt just say that someone else told me its bad, i explained it to you.
and also reddit-style blocking isn’t the only way to satisfy what OP (and I) want. its just the clearest example.
the reddit style blocking is a problem because malicious party can pre-emptively block people they’re going to shit talk and then the subject of the shit-talking wont know about it. but you can still block interaction without blocking the visibility.
you can block a harasser from posting harassment on the victim’s content without the reddit problems.
