What Happens When a User Is Blocked
- Access to your profile.
When a user has been blocked, they will not be presented with your posts when they open your profile page. - Level of obscurity.
Although blocked users may not be able to see your posts on your profile, they may stumble upon a post belonging to you, or posted to a community you administer through other avenues such as posts you share to communities with a public privacy setting, or having opened your profile before you blocked them.
If a blocked user does come across your post, they will not be able to interact with the post (such as by commenting, liking, or bookmarking) as long as the block is in place. - Interactions history.
When you block a user from your profile page, all previous interactions with your profile — posts liked, comments made on posts, one person following the other, and other such interactions — between you and that user get deleted. Messages exchanged, however, will remain in place, and only get deleted when you choose to "Delete all messages" between you and that user, if any exist, via the chat page for messages between you and said user.
