Have you ever worked with someone who has trauma? Triggers are more than the actuality of an event but knowing that the possibility to be hurt again. I’m not going to say more, but there’s a lot more to be said.
I mean, sure, but if you block/mute somebody and don’t see, hear, or feel them anymore (which is what the block on lemmy seems to do), when what’s the point of additionally signaling to other users “hey, I blocked you”? It seems like a great way to challenge them to create a new account and immediately antagonize you for blocking them to create the cycle again. And on the fediverse it’s even easier since they can just pick an instance that doesn’t know them.
