We’ve heard feedback over the years that “block”, the staff tool to prevent users from posting on the site was unclear. Without knowing what “block” meant in a Discourse sense, one could just as easily infer that it mean block the user from using the site (which is a suspension).
As such, we’ve renamed block to “silence” in Rename "Blocked" to "Silenced" · discourse/discourse@1f14350 · GitHub
Over the next few days we’ll be working our way through Meta to update documentation and other discussions that refer to “blocking”.

Just a rename. There should be no change in functionality. If there is, please report it as a bug

Thanks for the announce!
Check the setting, example key: system_messages.user_automatically_silenced.text_body_template at server.en.yml (transifex).
Says:
(…)block_new_user site settings.
That setting will be renamed too?silence_new_user ?

Site settings have all been changed. I’ll double check the translation files, they should have all been updated as well.
Block was a rare state to be in and only recently was an explicit button added for mods to put users in it. So I don’t expect much pain from the rename.

Agree @jomaxro , I mean if “block_new_user” does not exist anymore, need to be renamed too
