A lot of the popular users subscribe to the blocklists uncritically. It breaks the UX of the site if you get placed on one.

Users are not entitled to the dissemination of their opinions. Either you let users block other users or you will turn your site into a cesspit.

As the plaform matures so will the blocklist ecosystem. Hopefully blocklists with good appeal mechanisms will win mindshare.
