but this (afaik) would be implemented by each individual not by a centralized service.

It would only be implemented by services (since the post on-chain cannot be "muted"). True, users would be the ones "blocking/muting" others, but it's only small step to a g-line.

if you have the personal choice to mute people how do you end up at "g-town"? by having your attention on memo now you're choosing to 'mute' the rest of the internet.

I don't have much of an issue with any individual memo client allowing this functionality, but once these blocks/ignores are on-chain they become indicators that can be abused.

You can't censor onchain, without majority of miners cooperating to censor.

True, but memo is the conjunction of two networks: blockchain and humanity. "Muting/Blocking" on *EITHER* side (via miners or popular opinion) endangers this intersection's capacity.

Everyone would manage their own mute lists.
replied 2653d
yeah, agree, I dont see any reason to put mutes on-chain (though not having them on chain does add friction when switching between clients)
