 So, block everyone with a given name? 🤔

 I’ve always found people called Steve trouble tbh. 
 😂 block all DANs ! 😂😂 
 🫥 NoOOoo! This is how you kill nostr! 🫨☠️ 
 nah, you have to block all fiajafs for that to happen

 What he means is that if you mute an npub, it does not mute notes written by other users that contain/mention that npub.

That happens to me and it's very annoying 🫠 
 In short: it's not about muting a username literally but better muting an npub 
 So, if I hide "sommerfeld" but don't block your key, should I see all of your posts, but none of the posts that cite your key because the name gets resolved to "sommerfeld"? 🤔
 
 I don't think keyword muting should apply to how mentioned npubs get resolved. I disagree with the proposal.

But the issue that I mention is still real. If I mute npubA and npubB mentions npubA, I shouldn't see that note. Nothing to do with literal keywords and names. 
 Yep, generally don't care to see interactions with people i've muted. 
 yeah, that one bugs me... as far as i'm concerned the client should understand that every event that matches on an npub should never be rendered 
 I think amethyst does a good job on muted accounts. Don't mind the prompt to display. I just don't click on reveal. Sometimes someone who I follow will interact with a muted user and their response is worth knowing even if the muted accounts is not worth following or seeing 
 ...not what I had in mind exactly, but this would be helpful too in keeping muted npubs off the feed if they are re-noted. 
 Block "ETH" or some flag emoji or whatever 😏 
 ...my reply got blocked by my own filter...

Random example. Say I block "🥑" -- I'd want that to apply to notes or usernames / display names. If I don't want to see a note about 🥑 I want to see notes from an account dedicated to 🥑 even less. Blocking each npub individually works, but this would be even more efficient.  
 I think I understand. People often use a particular term or emoji in their displayname to associate themselves with a particular cause/group/activity. You'd like to be able to mute the term or emoji to not only to avoid notes that contain it, but also to mute npubs that include it in their displayname.  
 Yes. Prime example would be the 18 with line through it for NSFW content.
