    Nothing really. If you have been blocked, then that means that the user does not want to interact with you. You cannot message them and you can't interact with them in any way. If you know them in real life, and the block was the result of an argument, then you could try to make up with them. But other than that, you really don't have any other options.

      Tips

      • While it may look like you still can, you actually cannot send private messages to a user that blocked you. Any messages that you do send will not be delivered. [1]
      • If a user has blocked you, then you will also not be able to see their comments.
        • However, you can still see all of that user's pins by visiting their page.
      • You can also block that user if you wish.
