Any plans for a true block feature in Discourse?

Hi all, our forum (as I'm sure many others are as well!) is regulated by Ofcom under the Online Safety Act 2023, and we're looking for ways to improve user safety.

The current mute and ignore features don't quite cut it since blocked users can still see and interact with content. Given the new regulations and enforcements by Ofcom, the need for better user safety and a more robust block feature would be super helpful.

Are there any plans to add this feature to Discourse? It would really help us and other forums in similar situations.

Thanks!
