mastodon needs a moderation silence that only removes the person from the local public timeline

masto admin want 

@vahnj i thought that's what it did. i still occasionally see boosts from instances i've silenced

masto admin want 

@wolfteeth oooo no i mean user silence

masto admin want 

@vahnj oh! i guess i haven't used that on anyone yet. so far anyone nasty enough to act on has been more in suspension territory

masto admin want 

@wolfteeth suspension is the normal tool everyone should use. silence is a hellban, removing from notifications AND the timeline

masto admin want 

@vahnj whoof. good to know! idk if i've ever run into a context where i'd want to let someone stick around if they were annoying enough to justify silencing their notifications

@wolfteeth it's good if your instance is Very Big and the person keeps coming back.

that's about the only use case.
