Title. What is the difference between these two actions that can be performed on users and communities?

My understanding:
Blocking a community will stop you from seeing all posts from said community.
Blocking a user will stop you from seeing posts and comments from said user.
Filters will stop you from seeing posts with specific keywords. For example, filtering “Trump” should stop you from seeing posts with trump in the title. But you’d still see other posts from a community, like politics.

I assume blocking is supported by the server so it should be more optimized / faster. Filtering is a client-side feature.
