RE: Adding A Block Feature To Hive? Freedom of Association Goes Hand in Hand with Freedom of Speech.

I have long thought we needed a block feature here, but it was my understanding that it would be too difficult to make work on a blockchain (don't ask me how, I am not techie enough to understand the details of it, but someone who knows how to code said so at some point). But for safety reasons, I think it's important. There are stalkers and trolls and the like that people might need to protect themselves from; like, people who have escaped abuse, for example, might never feel safe coming to a public blockchain because their abuser might find them.

Yes, though it's not possible to completely hide someone using a block feature here at the moment because the blockchain will always be public at it's core. However, that could change through the introduction of real privacy onchain through encryption - which I think is also necessary.
