Personally I prefer being told I'm silenced, since it is a feedback mechanism that gives me the choice to reflect. Maybe it's reflecting on whether I was bad, or maybe it's reflecting on whether it was the right place and time to say what I said, or maybe it's reflecting on whether the person blocking me is worth my time and effort.
I get why people prefer not to offer this feedback, since far too many people get vindictive once they've been rejected. Ghosting someone is highly effective. Still, I wish it wasn't a necessarily available tool, because it gets abused by the overly offended and/or seems to me like passing the problem on to someone else to handle.
Not that I would ever use it.
