Hide online status of blocked users

The blocked feature of discord is already pretty lenient towards blocked users. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like you've blocked them at all. You can still see their online status in mutual servers and their chat message is covered up by a giant block that says "x blocked message". One click and you can see what it says. When I block someone, I don't want to see anything that reminds me of them. They're gone, dead and out of sight. Sometimes you can't really leave a mutual server for some reason, so you keep running into this problem. You blocked em, but did you really?

I have a feature proposal regarding the online status of users you've blocked. Once you block them, their online status is changed to "offline" till unblocked. In mutual servers or your chat history, they will also appear offline. Plus maybe a feature that allows to just block off all messages of the blocked user in mutual servers instead of a "wall"? If this sounds too drastic for your lenient block system, is it atleast possible to add a feature which edits your preference like:

O "Hide online status of blocked users." (Yeets them into the offline void till unblocked.)

O "Void all messages of blocked users in mutual servers." (Instead of a trying to cover it up with a wall as strong as paper cuz you can just click it to see the message anways, no trace of the messages will be shown)

I dont agree with hiding messages completely because its the users choice rather to see the message or not

This seriously needs to be a feature. Statuses are a vector for communication, and the whole point of blocking someone is to remove all vectors for a person to communicate to or around you.
