SocialGraph

Remarks

Friendship is mutual and asked for; a block is one-way and silent. Those are two different relations and games that model them as one list with a flag end up letting somebody discover they have been blocked, which is the one thing a block has to avoid.

⚠ Blocking removes the friendship and cancels the pending requests, both ways. Otherwise the person just blocked is still on the friends list, still visible in presence, and still able to be re-invited by a UI that reads the list rather than asking.
