What is ignored but not blocked?

Ignored but not blocked refers to a setting or feature on various social media platforms that allows users to mute or ignore certain accounts without blocking them entirely. This means that the user will no longer receive notifications from that account or see their posts in their feed, but the account will still be able to follow and interact with the user's account. This feature is particularly useful for dealing with accounts that may be irritating or spamming without the need to completely sever ties with them. However, it should be noted that the ignored account may not be aware that they have been muted by the user.
