I just want to state for the record that my vision for fixing this
problem has always been to make a MUC mode where messages are coming
from room/occupant-id which I kinda want for multiple reasons anyway
and then we could just reuse 0191.
That would mean that we can do server side blocking and not even have
the messages delivered that we don’t want to show anyway.
While I also find the potential for protocol use attractive, the XEP cites
many reasons that client-side works better than server-side for this
feature.
Personally I never use mute/ignore in clients these days, largely because
no matter how annoying someone is, there are inevitably conversations where
I need to see their messages in order to piece together a conversation.
In other words, the XEP was designed this way on purpose, not purely
because of the lack of occupant IDs in JIDs.
