it may be if you're considering whether to *send* a block. if you're only sending it directly to the person you're blocking, that's maybe more harm than good. if you're sending it to the admin of a site that they're a user on, you may have a bit more confidence that that admin will actually do something useful with it, or at least not retaliate against you

absolutely! agreed. I think there's a meaningful difference between other networks, where most people are users on someone else's server, so blocking on-protocol can actually be useful, vs indieweb where everyone runs their own site, at least at a high level, so sending a block would always be peer to peer and less useful

[snarfed] rather than worrying about a hypothetical "race to the bottom", I'd prefer we focus on the use-cases of (especially more vulnerable) people who have actually experienced harm that originated in social media, sometimes involving blocking and escalations in response to

depending on your req'ts, http://indieweb.org/unlisted + https://indieweb.org/unguessable_URL seem to be a sweet spot of low effort to useful end result, ie similar to real access controlled private posts with way way less work

Absent some mechanism to create a subset of possible viewers posts are either full public or private and gated by some mechanism. Can webmentions be scoped to a private space?

the usual distinction that the other person can detect the block, but they can't detect a mute, is a decent combination of abilities

sure, but the conclusion then is just to never do anything that you're not ok with being fully public, which is a bit of a race to the bottom

Blocks at a protocol level may be a mistake tbh because the info is leaky (eg sites being compromised)

thinking about https://indieweb.org/block a bit. right now, blocking on the indieweb is largely internal to your own site, ie you just stop accepting their interactions. is there any reason to also send them a block (eg webmention) to notify them?
