  Hello WordPress support -team, I would like to know how to remove (block) certain followers. Followers I have removed today. Your pages are very difficult to use, and I haven’t had a need to block anybody before. I haven’t done it before. Please contact me as soon as possible, With best regards, Anaelle Amaya ((email visible only to moderators and staff))

  Hi there,

  If your site is set to public, anyone can follow it. They don’t even need a WordPress.com account to do so – they can follow your site in any RSS reader without you or us even knowing it.

  So there is no way to block an individual from following or reading your site. The only way to control who can follow you is to set your site to private. Then only people you invite can follow it.
