But for everyone else? Go ahead. Lift the ban. Send that reply. And pretend the whole blocking thing never happened.

It’s time for the un-block.

Maybe you blocked that coworker who replies all with “Thanks.” Maybe you blocked the newsletter that promised “one last email” (for the 47th time). Or, in a moment of pettiness we are definitely not judging you for, you blocked your ex after they sent a 2 a.m. “u up?” text.

Don’t worry. Unlike real-life blocking, there’s no awkward conversation, no explaining yourself, and no having to admit you were wrong. Just a few clicks and you’re back in business.
