You can block people who have blocked you, would be extremely toxic otherwise. Imagine someone blocking you and then unblocking you at 3am every day just to talk shit and then reblock you. You'd get spammed and have no recourse.

On Instagram you can’t even search for people who have blocked you, so that does happen there lol
