a feature to block other users from seeing our activity and reviews.

Current plan
Blocking a user will entail:
Automatic un-following/un-friending
Not being able to find or view one another's profiles
Not seeing one another's reviews on a book's review page
Not seeing updates from them in the 'All Updates' section of the News Feed
Not seeing them suggested anywhere (such as Similar Users or Buddy Read User Suggestions)
Not being able to invite one another to book clubs, readalongs, or buddy reads
Not being able to join a public readalong, or buddy read hosted by the blocker or blocked user
Have we covered everything?

Nadia the only thing I can think of aside from everything you mentioned would be if the blocker and the blocked person join the same public read along or buddy read, but I dont know what a solution would be

firefairy214 We discussed that and figured that for now we'd leave that up to either party being able to leave. As you imply, it's a tricky one as there'd be other people's comments/conversation involved. Thank you!

Nadia Maybe their comment could be replaced by something like "a blocked user made this comment" from your own view? So you can both still participate, you just won't see each other's comments

cdonegan Yes, we considered that. But then we think we might need to allow for revealing those comments in case it's key to a discussion...then it becomes a bigger feature. For now, we've decided to leave as is and use user experience to dictate the best way to handle it but that does sound like the best way.

As part of this, I'd also love to block users so that I don't see their reviews. Sometimes I see a user who has such a completely different philosophy that their reviews are just incredibly unhelpful (and occasionally insulting) and it would be nice to be able to just block the user and not worry about seeing their reviews.

kestrellady Yes, once blocked, it'll be like they don't exist to you in the app. That's the plan anyway!
