What happens when you block someone?
- Their stories will be removed from your feed and email digests, and you won't see them in the future.
- You won't be able to follow them. You can see their profile, but not their stories.
- Any responses they've left on your stories won't be visible to readers.
- Blocked users cannot leave notes, recommend, or otherwise interact with your content. They can @mention you, but you will not be notified.
- Blocked users will not be able to follow you or view your content while logged in. If a blocked user visits your profile, they’ll see a message that they’ve been blocked.
- Any of your stories added to a blocked user's List will be removed from their Lists.
