Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Block / mute Choose block / mute when the user needs a personal boundary that changes visibility, contact, notification, or interaction from a specific target. The control identifies the exact target before activation and does not infer a broader scope than the visible label states. Supports block effects, entry points, confirmation, visible blocked state, hidden-post view option, unblock path, and reporting limitations.
