Option to remove/block followers
R
There should be an option to remove followers or block them. The notification of something new is sent to all our followers if we tell them about something. There are followers that I don't want to notify about my wishlists etc. An option to remove them, or to send the notification to a selected few would be nice.
We Are Wildness
I would like to see this feature. I have someone spam commenting on a post I made and I don't have an option to ban them. That doesn't feel safe to me.

You can very easily hide a supporter & their comment from your page using the "Make this support private" option.
Also, unfortunately, it's practically impossible to block a supporter as they can always use a new email. However, this is a very serious issue and we’ll keep thinking about how to solve this meaningfully. Thank you for sharing this feedback!

Anaswara Swathi (Head of Community): I've had a few people use fake emails or addresses that weren't theirs to download extras. Obviously a separate issue to the harassment issue but would also be good if it was easy to ban those people too. Someone messaged me on Facebook as they'd had someone download extras using their email address

Anaswara Swathi (Head of Community): I think that in every other social media platform people could always use a new email. It would still be very helpful to be able to block the email they used at least.
Pour Judgement
Anaswara Swathi (Head of Community): Considering most social media platforms provide the ability to block both users and toxic comments, certainly this platform can do the same. It can be done.

Alyssa Cowan: Agree! We've started working on this.

Anaswara Swathi (Head of Community): could you please explain how to do this? Where exactly is this "Make this support private" option?????
Barbara Horvat
Anaswara Swathi (Head of Community): Yes, I absolutely agree this must be a thing. Doesn't matter if they create a new email and continue. From my vast experience of online harassment and creeps that stalk me daily, eventually they give up making new emails. Right now I have to individually remove all the disgusting comments they post on there. Make blocking an option, it's very needed. I deleted my account precisely for that reason after 2 months of using and now that I have it back - it's been only 2 weeks before I have someone who stalks me on here. And if I refund him - that's an interaction he will use to continue leaving public comments on the page. I just wanna block and report him. Can't even report stuff at the moment and you allow everything to be public.
