Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
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:
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.
I noticed in the new (awesome) DM redesign, there is only "block" as a quick link on selected chats calling into question my interpretation of what block and mute are.
That said, block and mute only being available from the context menu of TextNotes but not from the the profile view is confusing. Better copy from the Dog-App:
or from GitHub
While nostr would allow to follow, block and mute an account at the same time, I'm not sure if clients should support that or how to handle it if other clients had set all three.
When chatting with somebody, why can I only block them and not mute them?
When looking at a profile, why can't I block or mute them? Carla shared a link to a fake Carla. How can I mute fake Carla if that account only re-posted stuff by Carla? I could open a chat with them and block them but not mute?
