Comment on @ Hubzilla Support Forum I’ve been experimenting a bit again and have com
mario@hub.somaton.com 4 days ago @Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ i think you are missing out on the fact that superblock is not invasive while the contact ignore and block are. Superblock just hides content for you. Undoing superblock will let you see all messages again. Ignore will stop storing content for you and block will even stop sending content. Unignoring or unblocking will not bring the missed content back. So those are completely different usecases. I am fine with controlling them all from the same place but i do not think it makes sense to exempt connections from superblock.
Perhaps, however, when it concerns connections, the menu could be expanded to include ‘Ignore’ and ‘Block’ to avoid having to go via the ‘Edit connection’ editor (although I don’t actually find that route particularly cumbersome).

How about just "Mute"?
Adding "Ignore" and "Block" to the menu items of connected channels is trivial. Adding the same expiration feature that Superblock now has is also doable. If we move all this functionality to Superblock, it would almost come by itself. (I think...)
The question is: Do we really need all three options? "Mute", "Ignore" and "Block"? Or would it be enough with just "Ignore" and "Block"?
Do we really want that posts and interactions posted while "muted" should reappear when the mute expires?
Personally, I don’t need a mute function that brings back the posts that were previously hidden once the mute is lifted.
It doesn’t really seem necessary either, because when you mute something, you do so for good reasons… you don’t want to see those posts. If you lift the mute, most users will simply assume that applies going forward.
Ultimately, therefore, an ‘Ignore’ and a ‘Block’ option would be entirely sufficient, provided they can also be applied to third-party channels and the lists can be managed via the add-on.
