option to ignore *comments* from people on 'ignore' list

Oh !! Yes!! The sacred right to breathe in peace.

Ignored people CAN'T comment on your posts, that is already working.

But, It's about ignoring 100% (you do not exist for me)

Hmm... is that really necessary? I mean, nobody forces you to read what somebody else felt compelled to write. If somebody annoys you, just stop taking notice. (In real life that's more difficult, agreed. But we are talking of the internet, aren't we.)

Besides, you can
a) ask the post's author to delete comments you find insulting, and
b) hide the whole post from your stream.
I'd say that's sufficient.

How can I ignore the trolls if I can't ignore the trolls.

If somebody annoys you, just stop taking notice.

That's what I'm trying to do. A lot of people can just "tune out" TV commercials. I can't. I either have to hit the mute button or turn off the TV in order to not be mentally barraged with unwanted messages. I know I am not alone in this.

I want a particular person to quit uglying up the conversations in my stream with his racist and misogynistic bullshit. The thing is, he has the right to his opinion. But I am under no obligation to have that shit on my computer screen. Could someone please allow me the capability to participate in the wonderful community of Diaspora*, while simultaneously removing this one asshole from my view?

P.S. I know that a user is prevented from commenting on my posts when I ignore them. And thank the devs we at least have that. I am talking about ignoring or greying out comments from people on other people's posts. Just to make that clear.

I know. But isn't what you're proposing something you can do without technical assistance? Or, in other words: Would not working on one's equanimity be the more effective approach? Considering that people do change every once in a while?

No, with the first coffee in the morning, while the news, I do not feel like doing mental and visual slalom to dodge idiots, my personal time line of being, just that, personal.

Well, if it is a personal matter, then why demand for a technical solution? I really fail to see your point.

Okay, let's stop developing Diaspora* right now, Diaspora is a tool for people, so, people do not need solutions, we dedicate to watching television, television is not for people, television is for masses, everything is the same for everyone , Prefabricated contents that you should eat as the capital sends or do not eat, because ... if that is what we want, stop the development of free networks right now.
