This is probably feature creep. Leaving open as a reminder to think about it more, but will probably not implement soon, in the interests of keeping things simple.

One thing to think about in relation to this feature is whether blocks vs. mutes are detectable by the blocked party. AFAIK, mutes are undetectable to the person muted.

Came here to suggest this feature. Discovered it was already suggested (wow back in 2014!).

Would love to see this added! Blocking someone gives them the satisfaction of knowing you blocked them. Muting them leaves them "shouting into the void".

Yes, please add this. I'd like to automatically mute accounts instead of blocking them as well.

Since it's been a while, for various reasons blocking is 100% useless to me. Any chance of allowing muting instead?

I asked a science communicator whether a blocklist would be useful. She said no, she muted instead.

I think it may be time.

I would like to have an option to block AND mute. Recently twitter started showing me tweets from accounts on my block list when I view trending topics and only augmenting my protection by additional mute gives me what I need.

If such a feature would be too much work maybe someone could create a script (python?) which would apply 'mute' to every accounts on my block list.
