NIP-51 describes a mute list message which can contain either a public or private list (or both) of “blocked” npubs.
Currently clients implement this by broadcasting the list to relays. When you switch clients, your client loads the last found mute list you posted by requesting it from relays.
It would be possible for clients to provide options to save/load your NIP-51 mute list rather than broadcasting to relays.
Thank you for informing me of this, and providing something useful. It appears that there is a common understanding that there are legionms of fool, nuisance, idiot, lamer, boring, time wasting, screen cluttering Nostr users who need to be supressed, excised, tamped down, exculded, demoted, K-LINED, "-V", banned, shunned and demerited, case in point the insufferable "Crawford":

a very silly INGSOC who can't stand the fact that other people are different to him.
Once Nostr clients roll out the blockz it will be even better, and people will be more careful about cheeking their superiors!
