What features can Saidit offer that Reddit can't? We'll never be a real Reddit alternative until Saidit is outright *better* than Reddit.

Saidit needs a better block feature that shows when users are blocked. For example, when a blocked user responds to a comment an automatic response should be created that indicates that there wont be a reply because they are blocked.

Most Reddit users never block anyone, and would never use such a feature.

You're thinking backwards - you're thinking about what you would like to see. That's not the question. What features would get current Reddit users to flock to Saidit?

I think you're right, if you block someone, they might just follow you around, trolling and spamming, so the incentive to block is somewhat low. I have almost never blocked anyone on Reddit, since I joined around the time of the Digg migration.
