Would be an incredibly useful feature to be able to just click a link on any user profile or sub to be able to hide them and all their posts/comments from view.
This would hide the user/sub from the front page, the all page and the "all subchans" page. Would still allow you to access them by navigating to the profile or sub directly.

I do plan on adding an exemption list on /all for subchans but blocking all submissions and comments from particular users would increase overall query times by quite a bit and would require quite a lot of code refactoring so that's probably not going to happen.
Hmm. Then I'm at a loss for suggesting a workable solution without being knowledgeable on the codebase.
I feel something like this will become a priority soon though. If we continue to have far right frens showing up to the party but still want people with other viewpoints to join as well those people will likely need to know they'll have tools to filter content to their liking. If the best on offer is hiding subs from /all and hiding things tagged NSFW/NSFL/P that still leaves enough vectors for people to see content they'd rather filter that it will turn away potential users.
The NSFL filter only works on posts/subs voluntarily tagged by their creator. And, as I've harassed you about before, filtering NSFL also removes violent content in addition to hate stuff. Since I personally don't care for the hate stuff but I'm fine with violence/gore/etc, the NSFL filter doesn't fit my particular use case just as an example.
Also blocking a user doesn't hide their content so let's say a user has a name like u/NiggerFaggot (sorry to single ya out NF, your name actually brings me back to Xbox live lobbies before everyone got all offended) and you block them. Well that does nothing (visible) because you've still got NiggerFaggot on your screen when the black guy you're blowing sees your phone screen and now your annual interracial gay gangbang is ruined... or something... just spitballing oddly specific situations here.
Guess this all boils down to a request for a more granular and air-tight method of content filtration than the current tags offer.
Haha all good man. I wear this username with pride.

Technically they have to as per the rules. Mods who don't enforce the global rules can have their mod team removed.
Ok after typing my first novel of a reply this idea hit me, how about a simple css solution? Hiding a user or sub just adds a class (to their posts or links to that sub) and the class is just set to display:none in a snippet of css that only loads for the person who's hidden things. Might need to rejigger a little bit of styling to make sure everything still lays out as intended but that seems like it'd get around the query and refactoring issues.
This could be a browser extension, pretty easily.
SILENCE THIS!!!!!!!!!!
