Description

Auto un-mute of muted accounts after set time or duration.

Use Case

Some accounts occasionally post a lot to a topic you are not interested in, but you don't want to permanently mute the account. Happened to me already several time when following hashtags. It typically is sufficient to mute an account for a couple of hours or days until they have calmed down. In the meantime you can still follow the hashtag.

Possible Implementation

a. rename the current Mute in the three dots menu of an account's profile to Mute forever. Introduce new Temporarily mute below.
b. after selection to Mute an account show pop-up asking user for a duration (or until when) or indefinitely.

Additional Context

Temporary mute is available in Mastodon. Users may be missing this feature when coming to Holos.
