The block functions sets a dire censorship precedent for Poal. (See full discussion HERE).

I propose that instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

In this way, both parties get what they want.

The block functions sets a dire censorship precedent for Poal. (See full discussion [HERE](https://poal.co/s/TellPoal/291278)). I propose that instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are *INSTEAD* automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the *choice* to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they *choose* not to. In this way, both parties get what they want.

That is how it should be. I think that is how it used to be. Just keep the comments collapsed and greyed out a bit, and no notifications in your inbox.

Exactly. Free-speech is upheld, and the blocker gets what they want.
