Blocking people?

For the first time I noticed that there's an option to block someone on NS... what does that do? Like how much of what you post can someone you've blocked see? Do they know they're blocked?

Blocking means they can't message you. They can still see your posts though.

Yeah problem with that is absolutely nothing on Newschoolers is built in the way of specific user-user content filtering. We filter stuff as a community, so everyone sees the same thing.

Facebook was engineered from the ground up to tailor what you see completely individually. They also have spent billions on development.

The block feature is useless, it was designed to prevent harassing PMs and that is it.
