Explain what blocking and muting does and what's the difference

Open Giszmo opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I suspect blocking is private while muting is public as I can see my muted list from another account but not my blocked list but I'm not sure if that is only the snort UI or how it works.

If my assumption is right then the wording is upside down I think. I might follow somebody but still find them noisy, so I mute them but blocking somebody is more aggressive.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please show maybe in a tooltip or so what each of these two buttons does. I want to name and shame those spammers but publicly muting them also because I assume that private blocking results in more data on the relays.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It would be nice to have more fine-grained control of what I get to see of certain accounts:

  • all
  • only posts with no replies
  • only if I'm mentioned
  • only DMs
  • nothing

And those in that last category might be split up into spammer/scammer/nsfw/...

I would want to mark spammers and scammers publicly and would like to see if several of my follows consider my correspondence a scammer/spammer.
