Individual users should be able to block all mentions of another user and/or their content, if they so choose. As is, blocking a user does not do this, which I really do not understand since it seems antithetical to what blocking does on almost every other platform. Current functionality is more of a mute button than anything else, which does not suffice when directly compared to how websites like Tumblr and Twitter implemented this feature. I sincerely cannot understate how essential it is for blocking to be improved.
For instance, as a trans woman I see no reason why I should not be able to block any transphobic/fetishistic content I see fit. It only makes my experience better, with no downside as it is a client-side feature. As it stands, all I can do is ignore it, and if you have ever been in the 'Transgender' tag at all, you know how difficult that is haha.
Please sound off with your thoughts, I would love to hear them. Thank you for your time. :)
