You already could have a client that treats a block as a mute. Easier to just open an incognito tab though.

> In theory, a bad actor could create their own rogue client or interface which ignores some of the blocking behaviors, since the content is posted to a public network. But showing content or notifications to the person who created the block won’t be possible, as that behavior is controlled by their own PDS and client.

There is no doubt censorship is popular. It's not for me though.
