Try calling it a "filtered" list. As in posts from everyone on this list get filtered from the main feed, + only get seen when you look at this list.

1. As in your design, this property gets toggled on a per-list basis.

2. A given account could still be included on multiple lists (regardless of this setting).A

3. BONUS UX: Any per-user Block/Mute affordances get a prepopulated "Filter to..." action to choose a filtered list to join.

@pevohr @d3cline I don't love that name because filtering is already a thing in Mastodon and it is known as a thing that gets rid of content rather than putting it somewhere else

Really? Given how the content filtering page is currently worded, that implication is a surprise to me. As written, it talks about contexts where copies of a given post do or don't get "hidden". Indeed, the words "as if" imply that the post isn't gone, you just don't see it in (some of) the usual context(s).

Indeed, I deliberately chose to reuse the concept of filtering because email (+ other) filters work exactly the way you want this to.
