Suggestion: Blocked users disappear completely

When you block someone, I personally feel that they should just vanish completely from your feed. Disappear from the server list, no option to even see if they've posted anything, they should not show up in group calls and they should not appear in the "Active Now" sidebar, either. They can still be there and do things as normal, you just cannot see them at all and vice versa.

Sometimes, the mere presence of someone can be stressful, especially if you share friends with them. Even the sight of knowing they've written something and being given the opportunity to look at what was said can amplify that stress tenfold.

Making it so that they simply cease to exist for you will mitigate the problem, because then, at least you aren't forced to see them and thus become even more stressed.

I agree, however I believe this should be a setting because I think it could become an issue with respect to moderation. If a moderator has to block a user, the moderator should still be able to moderate the messages of this rule-violator, however for non-moderators, this would definitely be beneficial.
