Well from what i know it’s not really blocked, the targetted users and communities get their content either not displayed, either as an error message. They’re technically there, not blocked, but the frontend chooses to hide them.

Yeah it doesn’t need “permission”, that’s the thing. Dude just made it so the things or people he didn’t like caused “error messages.”

My guess is that the blocking is done client-side.
