Blocking a user behaves more like mute. Proper blocking needed to prevent harassment. (slrpnk.net)

The block feature should be renamed to “mute”, which is what it seems to actually be. Currently I can apply this to a user and they can still see all my posts. So it’s a good mute feature but a terrible block feature.

Mastodon still implements privacy and blocking to an extend: https://nerdschalk.com/make-mastodon-account-private/

So it's still possible even within the Fediverse to have more granularity.
