Description

I have a person writing me unpleasant things via the chat, to my verified identity. Of course it's problematic that someone "found me" online and I'm essentially getting doxxed, but even worse I can't block him from continuing to send nasty notes on this platform.

I really, really want to stop the unpleasant and triggering texts. Can you block a user on my behalf? I found a feature request in your backlog to block a user, but it doesn't appear to have gotten any traction. Hence this request. Thanks!
