Yeah, maybe some blocking tools are in order?

Yeah uh...

Maybe we shouldn't really have a platform where people like this can just, you know

Do a lot of that? Like, I understand the whole freedom of speech deal, but I feel that just allowing this isn't that great of a look.

The ability to block users is on our roadmap but not currently implemented. In the ideal implementation users should have control of what kind of experience they want to have. I will update here when the functionality is implemented.

A draft of block lists has been implemented here: cfd6589

In this draft users can be blocked, unblocked, a list of blocked users viewed, and blocked users are filtered from the explore feed. It has been auto deployed on staging at stg.polycentric.io blocked users are not currently filtered in all contexts such as replies or search.

Hello, it's been a little bit because I got saddled with a lot of work in the past few weeks.

This is a great start, so far! I do hope that this extends to replies or search. The only concern I have is the ability to see the list of people that other users have blocked, as I feel that it is too easy to see this. Ideally, this list should just be in a user's own settings page.

As well, these options don't appear to be visible in the web app on Android, but at least the feature still works, so there is that.

Last thing is that these blocks should be reflected on Grayjay, if possible. I still see the people I've blocked under videos there.

Thank you very much for taking the time to implement this! I'm glad to see that you all do listen when you are able to! 👍
