If I block someone, I want to see [blocked] instead of what they are saying. I want to receive no notifications for this. I should be able to view what other people in that comment thread are saying. I should be able to toggle the ability to read these people’s replies, but not reply unless I unblock.

They can still see my shit. That’s fine. Just stop making me see theirs in my inbox. And stop blocking the rest of the conversation where other good folks are continuing to discuss something I was interested in.
