It’s not difficult, but I don’t know if it’s necessary…
Ignored user posted. They don’t want to see it. Then someone replied to this user. They also don’t want to see it. Then someone else replied to this reply, and then another reply to the reply to the reply… Shouldn’t these be seen?
- It causes discussions to break down. Fine, you mute someone, so you “never” see that person’s posts. But then another user you like quotes the muted user in their post, or references their @name, or replies to their post. Do you then suppress just the quoted section? Suppress the @name? Suppress all replies to their posts, too? This leaves big holes in the conversation and presents many hairy technical challenges. Given enough personal mutes and blocks and ignores, all conversation becomes a weird patchwork of partially visible statements.
