my top wishlist of HN features:

* personal ability to mute/block any account

* BONUS: and/or delegate above decision to list-providing service at given externally-hosted URL

* intelligently autowrap text of long lines, like its 2026 (heck like 1997)

>personal ability to mute/block any account

Plenty of browser plugins that do this. I like HN Comments Owl.

browser plugins are an anti-pattern. and security risk. less depedencies are better. all modern social media platforms, including HN, should have out-of-box way to mute/block and delegate to service as well. There are often categories of folks/accounts I likely dont want to see/hear from or have my content exposed to them where I can help it. HN has demonstrated itself to have a toxic subset in their community, as elsewhere.
