students need to be able to block/mute other students for online safety; especially when contacting a professor due to the sensitive nature of a topic could further create harm for the student.

This sounds like you are suggesting a feature for Canvas? If so, you can submit it here.

If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
