From their profile → tap menu (•••) → "Block this person." One tap, takes effect immediately, no confirmation screen because we want blocking to be frictionless.
When you block someone:
- They are removed from your connections (if you were connected)
- They cannot send you DMs or new connection requests
- They cannot see your profile or any of your posts
- You cannot see their profile or posts either
- Your existing DM thread becomes inaccessible to both of you
- They are not notified that you blocked them; they just stop being able to interact with you
Blocking is unlimited and free on every tier. Safety is never a paywall.
If someone is doing something that violates Cofelt's community standards (harassment, threats, grooming, scam attempts), please also report them. Reporting helps us protect others, not just you. Reports are reviewed by a human.
If someone you blocked creates a new account to get around the block, that's a violation we take seriously. Report the new account. Our safety team can correlate accounts and apply network-wide bans when warranted.
You can unblock from settings → Blocked users. If you unblock, the previous connection is NOT automatically restored.
