"Are you sure?" prompt needed for blocking

At some point recently I apparently accidentally blocked one of the artists I follow and regularly interact with. I didn't even realize it until they DM'd me on Twitter.
It seems like it's way too easy to accidentally block someone on FA, especially on mobile. One wrong tap while scrolling and that's it. The "block" link is also right next to other links on their profile.
There really should be some extra step along the lines of an "are you sure?" prompt to avoid this sort of thing happening.

I'd say either that or move where the block button is. I'm lucky enough to have not made that mistake myself but I agree that it's too close to other things that are almost the complete opposite of blocking

This would be good to have. Until then, I had to write a client-side CSS modification (via Stylish addon) to remove the block button from user pages, ensuring no possible accidental misclicks.
Moving the block button to [ ... ] could also be nice. You basically would click on that button and a block button pops up.

I end up blocking people all of the time because the Watch button is swapped with Block depending on if you're mobile or web. I'll bring it up.

I took this to the team and Dragoneer promptly pointed out that it does, in fact, already exist lmao.
