There are some inelegant workarounds when it comes to using Substack, and they don't readily come to mind, especially for new people.
Important to block someone first, then delete the Note thread, if that's the chosen course.
Sometimes unpleasant interactions occur on someone else's Note, or newsletter. If so, people can resort to blocking the other person, and secondarily deleting their own comment associated with the interaction, thus the offending commenter remains, but the context has vanished.

If someone was really upset, they can also delete their own Note, thereby removing all responses with it.
Good point, thanks Caz.

Thanks for sharing!
Great points Caz, all of them. Notes works a lot like FB in this regard. If you block first you can't delete your comment and the interaction.
Yes, good correction, I inadvertently put that the wrong way around.
I’ve done that, and started over! 💖 But first I block the offenders
I've been totally confused by notes. Thanks so much for this straightforward explanation. It certainly helps.
You are welcome! Glad it is useful, thanks for the feedback.
Bliss.
Lol, thanks!
