  • "I don't want to see content from this person", legit
  • "I don't want to get notifications about this person's content", legit
  • "I don't want this person's content to be able to link to my profile or use my name", dubious
  • "I want this person to have to log out to see my content", nonsense

How so? Even if I think people are posting the stupidest, most self-incriminating bullshit ever, I don't have any special right to see their content or forward to my audience if they don't want me to.

It still makes no sense that I can just log out take a screenshot log back in and share it. That's the part that's just a bit weird. It makes sense on s platform where not everything is publicly accessible
