Blue checks will complain about it, then want a feature to get around that.

Complain about mute? How will they know they have been muted?

what’s the difference between block and mute? Block just lets them not see your feed and notifies them of this, but mute just hides anything they post from you?

Muting people that harass you instead of blocking them enable them to just spam libel about you onto your posts, which can have other effects. At least with blocking, they can’t just do it on your actual posts.

If you mute someone, you don’t see their posts. They don’t get any notification that you have muted them. It’s the same as blocking but they don’t know they are blocked.

Blocking is a step up from muting. Muting just makes it so you don’t see the muted users’ posts and comments. Blocking makes it so that the blocked user is muted, plus they cannot see any of your posts and comments. Blocked users also cannot @ you.

Blocking lets them know they need to make another account to continue to harass you.

Muted accounts can’t @ you either.

The only difference between block and mute is that your are informing them they are blocked, prompting them to make an alt so that they can keep doing shit.
