Muting and blocking are really important tools on Mastodon. Mutes hide someone from you without them knowing, whereas blocks totally cut off contact with an account and prevent interactions.

To mute or block someone, go to one of their posts or their profile page and click ⋯, then select "Mute" or "Block".

I've done a guide all about mutes and blocks on Mastodon which answers lots of questions:

Yeah, they could do that on any platform I guess.

But it would be a pain for them, more friction, makes them less likely to bother. Also it would be block evasion which would get their alt suspended on many servers. They'd have to find a server that is sympathetic to block-evading abusers (and many admins would defederate such servers).
