Description

XTwitter and Mastodon both allow you to hide/mute reposts that are reposted by a particular user. Bluesky does not, you can only hide all reposts from your feed.

There is an existing issue for hiding all reposts. This issue is a request to be able to more granularly hide reposts on a per user basis. To wit: I would like to be able to select a user and then configure whether I want to see their reposts and/or replies.

(I follow someone on Bluesky whose posts I want to see but whose frequent reposting clutters my feed with things I don't care to see. Another accounts posts announcements that I need to see but their frequent replies to others are more clutter.)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing issue for hiding all reposts, issue #1556, and trace how Bluesky reposts and replies are represented in the app. Define the per-user settings for hiding reposts and replies, then verify that followed users' original posts remain visible while the selected content is filtered.
