Filtered posts should show who posted them and be re-hideable

Open killerbee13 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

There are several cases where whether I want to open a filtered toot depends on who posted it, but the current UI hides that information completely. It is possible to open a filtered toot without unhiding it on the timeline but it's easy to miss and tap the show button instead, and then there's no way to re-hide it after if I want to, which is also an issue.

Basically, I think filters should act more like a CW instead of completely hiding the post. Possibly this could be controlled by a setting to retain the old behavior for those who want it.

The current behavior is basically cloned from the web ui. I'd hesitate to show username or display name in the filter since they could also contain filterable content (e.g. there was recently a user on mastodon.social named @[n-slur]killer) - we could maybe add an indicator if the post is from somebody you follow?

Just had a question via Feditips, is there any way to rehide the post after opening the filter CW in Tusky?

The official web UI does allow rehiding filtered posts, which is why they were asking.
