Blacklist - Hide content of user
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not every post is everybody's cup of tea. Sometimes a user dislikes posts by a certain person so much, that he/she would like to stop seeing contributions of this person.
Describe the solution you'd like In the case above, a user should be able to click on the contribution or the authors profile page and click a button to blacklist this person and stop seeing contributions of this person.
Describe alternatives you've considered A possible alternative could be to block accounts for the entire community.
Additional context
Feature: Individual Blacklist
As a user
I want to click on a button to blacklist certain user profiles
In order to stop seeing contributions of this account, because I don't like them
Should the button be placed on the profile page, the contributions page or both?
Should be on both.
Other question: Should we completely hide the contributions or maybe just mask them to show that there is a contribution/comment from an blocked user so that we could unblock/show that contribution on time? At least for comments that could make sense or not?
I vote for a strict filter - if I blacklisted somebody I mean it. However I would like to unblock people. If I can't see their contributions, I cannot undo my decision the same way. Therefore a unblock feature would make sense on my profile page.
+1 for a strict filter.
To unblock we'd need a list like Organizations in Settings/Profile with all blocked peers listed.
But on comments some hint would be nice to understand reactions from others don't you think?
true that, could be confusing if there's an answer but no question. Maybe we should label it as a riddle 🍡
What is the umbrella term for contributions and comments? ...
@roschaefer userContent?
What is the expected response if the user visits a contribution site that is blacklisted? With the current implementation I get 404. Another user who does not blacklist the author will see the contribution. Is that expected behaviour?
If someone uses a bookmark to open some post from a meanwhile blocked user I'd say redirect to newsfeed, any issues with that?
I would prefer 404 or an explicit message telling you that you blacklisted the author. I don't like redirect because of magic.
true that. Hmm how about showing the contribution concealed (blur filter or smth.) with a note on top?
How about calling it unsubscribe instead of blocking? While technically it does the same, unsubscribe sounds less "violent".
Examples:
- "Unsubscribe from this user"
- "Unsubscribe from comments by this user"
- "Unsubscribe from contributions by this user"
Referring to my previous post I probably mixed up things. Twitter has three kinds of "disconnecting" features:
Each one has its own consequences. And there are also features to report users for violations.
@roschaefer Is your feature request rather about no. 2 (muting) or about no. 3 (blocking)?
To be honest I don’t like that feature to be blocking. But currently we have no subscriptions beside „following“ a user or organization for updates. The rest is „take it all“. So maybe we could name it „unsubscribe“ to be more friendly. What do you thing? What would a „unsubscribe“ look like?
I thought "unsubscribe === unfollow" and this feature here is to "mute" sb.
There is no blocking because we don't have direct messages implemented.
But it hides the content of the blacklisted users!? I don’t get the subtle differences between the three types.
But the purpose of that issue was to give people to hide content from users that annoyed them.
yes you're right, unfollow === unsubscribe - mute or whatever name we use should also work for chat I think. I wouldn't necessarily call it "block" and rather stick to mute as it sounds more nicey. Can we stick to one for now (mute) and discuss naming at some later point? I think the functionality required is clear to everyone.
