When you block, the blockee can still see your profile and with a little bit of effort, your public posts. Hence, more sensitive information should be reserved for followers.
Highly sensitive remarks should be "mentions-only". And always vett your followers list, please.

And REALLY highly-sensitive communication should be outside Mastodon (or Twitter or Gmail or...): end-to-end encrypted, via Signal or manually running PGP at both ends. (Or ideally never shown to any computer or written down at all.)
Just for completeness!

Stalin delivers a speech to a large audience in the Kremlin. Suddenly someone sneezes.
Stalin: Who sneezed?
Everyone is shaking, and no one dares to confess.
Stalin: First row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Applause)
Stalin: So, who sneezed?
Silence.
Stalin: Second row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Ovation, shouts: ‘Hail great Stalin!’)
Stalin: So who sneezed?
A man rises in the back row, shaking: It was me, sorry…
Stalin: No big deal. Bless you, comrade!
