Netnews has for years had the very useful concept of the killfile where you could add a user or users whose posts you didn't want to read and they wouldn't be displayed any more. Could this be added to GZ? Note that it's not stopping a user from posting, it's just removing the need to listen to them if they're polluting a forum.

I believe the OP asked more for reasons of his own sanity, similar to my intention when asking about avoiding user accounts in 2017. It certainly was not to create an echo chamber. My intention was more like Twitters mute than Reddit's Banning & muting.





Please keep this GZ community vibrant by contributing in a constructive & respectful manner.
