Show HN: Keep track of why you muted someone on X

This is a WebExtension I made for myself first, to solve my frustration caused by not being able to remember who is who on twitter. Every user has a unique mix of opinions, some of which I would rather not see on my tl - but simply muting someone is too permanent (twitter does not allow you to see what was the mute reason).

I wish X would allow you to mute lists of people. I keep a list for insufferable VCs, and it would be nice to mute the whole list at once.

Maybe a feature request for your extension: take a list and mute everyone on it, and periodically check for new additions and mute those too. That way I can have the list be the source of truth, rather than commenting on every person I mute individually.

Import/export mute lists would be an amazing feature but why would x allow that? Shareable mute lists would turn the place into mastodon or something non-monitizeable due to low enragement.
