There is now way you can hide yourself on steemit as the blockchain is public.
Even if devs implement it on steemit.com, one could easily go to another website (like steemdb.com) to see what's happening on your account.
The same is also valid : nothing prevent you to get posts/replies from someone.
Once again, steemit.com could implement it but they are several other ways to post/reply.
Anyway, having a filter implemented on steemit.com is a great idea.
But again, if it's not implemented on other sites exposing the blockchain, this can be useless.

It's not useless. It raises the cost to the attacker who now has to put forth more effort to harass someone.
exactly. It makes it more difficult to cause issues, and interacting on a blockchain is not where the fun is.
