Blocking Back Users that Block You

[Bud3]

If a user blocks you, you cannot block them back! This should be a feature! I don't want my ex to be able to unblock me, stalk me, then block me again because they were the first to block!!

BLOCKING

I want to provide feedback on the blocking feature, which I believe does not work as effectively as it should. When I block a user, they can no longer see my profile, but I can still see theirs. This can be emotionally difficult—especially for someone with a history of harassment or in situations where exposure to a particular person is distressing.

For individuals who have experienced harassment or suffer from PTSD, accidentally coming across a profile they are trying to avoid can be genuinely harmful. The fact that blocking is not mutual means the protective function falls short.

This feature needs to be more effective by also hiding blocked profiles from the person who initiated the block. This would enhance safety and make Spotify a better platform for all users. Strongly considering changing platforms.
