Two things that I didn't earn that I am deeply grateful for: my parents are not Boomers (they are Silents), and I'm not a Boomer (I'm a GenZ).

"Block" is trivially bypassed by using a logged out tab. It's ok and good to say "I don't want to see their words". It's foolish to try to demand and enforce "they are not allowed to see my words". If you don't want people you don't like to see your posts, don't post.
