Well, no because that's why it's explicitly not a duplicate:
This should be a setting available to users and not require admin access to the instance, which your suggestion definitely need.
Also Mastodon basically doesn't have any good ways to support blocklist feeds like that - which is WHY I opened that issue.
If people have to manually export blocklists from their profile and than diff/merge multiple feeds on their own system just to update these and reimport that as a replacement, that's basically a F-
in #UI & #UX because that's a shit workflow that I'd expect from a crappy #MSDOS tool and not a modern #WebApplication that already requires #JS just for the UI: If anyone then Mastodon should implement these things in UI in their Software!!!
#glitchsoc does have #markdown support and I use it extensively, but this should be a mainline feature and not require a #fork like glitchsoc
to begin with.
I do have the sneaking suspicion that with #Mastodon, the way it's maintained is basically @Gargron does: 'I sez so!' and that's it.
- Again, read the issue again and tell me how the average, #TechIlliterate user can be helped otherwise than how every other Software like #pfBlockerNG does it by exposing a simple UI to configure that and automatically update and merge those...
If any solution to issues with #Mastodon require a user to have privilegued access, 3rd party tools or fiddle with the #CLI I consider it "unfixed" because this shouldn't have to exist to begin with - espechally for the average user!
