Doesn't Twitter also have the mute function, which acts the same as a block regarding you the user not seeing the response(s) but doesn't prevent the other user from interacting?
Personally, I kind of hope there remains a mute feature. I'm fine with individuals having the tools for their own side of things, but I HATE this rather modern idea of taking the other person's ability away to interact.

yes. people are abusing block when they should be muting so block is going away, and you can only mute now.
Twitter has a weird implementation of block because they come from a private messaging/advertising perspective. Not a discussion one.
If they mean to be the town square, it never should have been implemented this way
