Introducing the ability to mute users by AO3 News
Fandoms: No Fandom
This work isn't hosted on the Archive so this blurb might not be complete or accurate.
17 Mar 2024

Summary
In our ongoing efforts to give you more tools for curating your Archive experience, we're rolling out a new interface to let you hide content by specific users.
Blocking and Muting: A Refresher
We'll be implementing two sets of features to help users curate their own experiences and add a layer of protection against harassment, without making it harder for people to create and interact with content on the Archive:
- Blocking, which will prevent certain users from interacting with you.
- Muting, which will exclude content by certain users from your personal Archive experience.
Because applying these concepts to all of the Archive's numerous and often interconnected features at once would be a massive undertaking, we're taking a gradual approach that will allow you to block and mute users in some areas while we continue to work on others.
You already have the ability to block specific users from commenting on your works or replying to your comments; now you will also be able to hide users' works, bookmarks, and comments from view.- Bookmarks:

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio
Fandoms: No Fandom
16 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on original characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries

Bookmarker's Notes
Very comprehensive guide, which continues to be updated.
I particularly like chapter 3, the chapter on blocking "megacrossovers", works which have more than a certain number of fandom tags. (You can customize the number according to your preference.) It is useful when you are frustrated by single works which are actually a collection of different works in different fandoms, and thus will repeatedly update within a fandom tag without necessarily having any new content in that fandom.

Summary
Did you see that fanfic with 6 gazillion tags forcing you to scroll endlessly to skip through it? Ever wondered how to block a specific story without having to download a 3rd party app or make an annoying bookmark? Guess what? You can block specific stories and authors directly from AO3, and it works in mobile!
Yes this is about a troll fic making it's way around AO3.
Updated with instructions to block works by a user (See ch2).
