    Blocking comments prevents harassment. I’ve seen people blocking harassers, the harassers would continue to harass them, and the harassed person would know they still comment (the interface shows “2 hidden comments”), and that anyone but them can see those comments.

    Definitely not ideal.

      Indeed. In those cases community mods can step in and issue bans, but that is a stopgap.

      It would be better to have some way to block a given user from interacting with your content, if not prevent them from seeing it.
