this seems basically the same as how blocking has worked for forever so idk

It was fairly easy for someone to know you blocked them since they wouldn't be able to react to your messages or suddenly couldn't dm you anymore, I assume that won't apply to this.

aye, I suppose that's useful

I've been blocked a time or two on discord. I don't remember the exact message, but it matched what you would see if you tried to message or add a user who didn't exist. I could tell from context that it was a block, but if it hadn't have happened mid conversation I would have thought I got the username wrong or something.

I haven't been blocked in quite a while, so this may no longer be accurate.

It's still accurate
