Learn how blocking and restricting accounts differ in terms of user interaction and privacy management.
0 views
Blocking an account completely cuts off interaction. The blocked user can't see your profile, posts, or send messages. Restricting an account is less severe; it limits the visibility of the user's comments and sends their messages to a separate inbox. Restricting can be useful for managing unwanted interactions without severing all connections.
