Hm. If he is showing up in an external post (the light blue ones) you should be able to ignore him. Oh, I see that you are ignoring him now. Everything ok now?

He started showing up as red but I never actually ignored him; the option to ignore him doesn't even show up, nor does the option to unignore him. Could he have been auto-ignored by me flagging two of his posts?

Hm. No, flagging doesn't go to ignore. It does indicate that you are ignoring him now.

Does he appear in your feed now? And if so, which post?

He no longer appears in my feed.

How do I ignore someone? I thought if you clicked on a username or visited their hub there was an ignore option but when I just tested it on you (not that I actually would ignore you) I didn't see it anywhere.

Currently you only get the option to ignore if the user comes into your feed as an external post. The thinking was if you are following them, then you won't choose to ignore them. But, I can see that someone might share a post with you by a user you'd like to ignore. I can add the option there.

However, whether you ignore someone or not, if someone you follow shares their post with you, you will see it (although the name will be red). -If you keep getting red names in your feed, it means you might be following the wrong people.

I'll make that change.

Every interaction I've had with you has been about ignoring someone or some thing. What does that say about me?
