Blocking someone
Three scopes, what each one cuts, and what doesn't come back.
Their profile → the ⋯ at the top right → "Block"
There's no “Block” in a post's menu
A post's ⋯ only carries "Edit post", "Delete" and "Report". To block someone from one of their posts, tap their name to open their profile, then use the ⋯ there. That's the only route.
Once you're there, you choose how far the block goes: "Choose what you cut off. They are never told about it."
The three scopes
| Scope | What it cuts |
|---|---|
| Cut off everything | "Profile, feed, messages, shop and comments. Follows are removed on both sides." |
| Messages only | "The conversation is frozen and no new one can open. Profile and feed stay reachable." |
| Feed only | "Their posts leave your feed, including the ones already shown. Profile and messages stay open." |
Only “Cut off everything” stops them buying and commenting
The two narrower scopes leave the shop and the comments open. If this is a seller you're in disagreement with, think before cutting everything: you'd lose the conversation thread too.
Four things to know
The person blocked is never told. No notification goes out, and nothing shows it to them.
A block already in place gets edited, not doubled. On the profile of someone you've already blocked, the button becomes "Change block": you tighten or widen the existing scope.
Removed follows don't come back
"Cut off everything" removes follows on both sides. Unblocking doesn't restore them: you'll each have to follow the other again.
There's a limit of 50 blocked accounts — "You have reached the limit of 50 blocked accounts." Past that, you have to unblock one to block another.
A blocked conversation is frozen, not erased
The history stays readable, sending stops. The freeze applies both ways, whoever did the blocking. The input field is closed, with the explanation on screen — rather than leaving an active field whose messages would be refused without anything saying so.
Unblocking
Profile tab → ⚙️ → "General" → "Blocked accounts"
It's the only place where you see your blocks again. Each is dated — "Since {date}" — and carries an "Unblock" button, which warns: "You will be able to see and message them again. Removed follows do not come back."
The conversation becomes usable again, with all its history — but, once more, not the follows.
Blocking isn't reporting
Blocking settles your own case: the person can't reach you any more. It doesn't alert moderation.
If the behaviour deserves a penalty — a scam, harassment, impersonation — report it as well. Your report stays anonymous to the person concerned. See Reporting an account or a post.
