A post was split to a new topic: Some posts showing ‘ignored content’
This seems to have been solved with this component:
Don’t know if this could potentially be integrated as a default with new discourse installs, or as an option in settings?
Here is another related topic about this:
Seems the feature could be further refined one day, potentially with a few more options for individual users / moderators + administrators to adjust depending on the situation.

If I remember correctly the team said something like hiding ignored users’ posts is not in the road map and they thought hiding the post kinda violates the principle. That’s why discourse still has not had this badly needed function til now
Principles are important, this is a good team that has those!
Read the focus is more on overall community than individual user experience, so this would be a problem for communities if many people are ignoring each other too often.
Could you now in 2025 reconsider this feature?
To hide topics created by muted users.
Or maybe add the data-op-user-id attribute to desktop and mobile topic <tr> tags?
Here to also request this behavior to be changed, if not by default at least as an option. I understand and respect the creators’ reasoning and decisions on this aspect, but there are also downsides. For example, if the ignored user’s post is the last and only new post in a thread, it will still show up under /unread, which is just confusing for users. Each community is different, and some already have their own well-established protocols for dealing with misbehaving users, so I think they should be able to implement complete hiding of ignored users with no traces if that works for their moderation style.
