I'm still perplexed by people calling ignore lists censorship. No one would know who I was ignoring except me. I would know that person had posted - I see a notification in place of the ignored post. I can click on that notification to show the post. No one but me knows this happens on my feed. Every one else's looks exactly the same.

What does it achieve? Very little, I agree. What harm does it do? Exactly none.
