Definition

The act of completely blocking someone on a social media platform, preventing them from seeing your profile, finding your account, or interacting with you in any way. Unlike soft blocking, the blocked person is notified of the action.

Example Usage

After he kept sending harassing messages, I had to hard block him on every platform.

Origin

Emerged alongside social media blocking features as the definitive term for complete account restriction, contrasted with softer removal methods.

Fun Fact

Hard blocking is sometimes called 'hard unfollow' or simply 'blocking,' with the 'hard' prefix emphasizing its finality.
