I would love a temporary block feature on Twitter
ie say I temp-block someone, and if they click on my profile, and it says "you have been temporarily blocked until [date]"
it's a way of signalling "that was annoying, try better next time", and you get to calibrate, too

mute is insufficient, because people who I mute can still be annoying to other people in my mentions. and then I won't even know about it until someone tells me "hey there's a someone in your mentions being a tedious nuisance to your friends"
at this point with 100s of notifications/day, the only sensible option for me to do is to perma-block anybody who wastes my time – I'm doing this thread partially because I have been sensing that I'm going to need to use my block button more
here's a random eg of the sort of thing that I don't have time for any more. when you have maybe 10 notifications a day, having a conversation about this is maybe ok. when you have 1,000+, it's a distraction from ppl who deserve your time 
telling people what they want or don't want = 10 minutes temp-block
I would totally use this! even if it makes me look like a snowflake or something, I don't care. the motivation here is that I want to be able to communicate to people that I don't tolerate their behavior, without having to going 100% nuclear
