Does 'Notifications Silenced' in Messages mean blocked?
If I see a contact "has notifications silenced" and a little moon icon at the bottom of a text message thread, does that mean the person has blocked me?

No, it just means that the person has put his phone on Do Not Disturb. It's a new iOS 15 feature, so you can see if your contacts will not be disturbed. Your contact will still receive your message, but not get a notification until the person has disabled Do Not Disturb.
