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?
In that case, it would make sense to rename the add-on to ‘Supermute’ and change the menu option to ‘Mute from channel’.

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.
