Boost blocking per connection works, usability could be improved

In order to block boosts / reshares from single connections it is possible to add the line

?verb == http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/share

in Edit connection -> Content filter -> Do not import posts with this text.

It took me +/- 4 weeks to find out about this, but it's good to know, that it works in general.
Note, that the option
?body ~= [/share]
DOES NOT WORK in Hubzilla 8.2 - here at least, although indicated in other Hubzilla wikis sometimes.

In order to improve usability of blocking boosts
I've requested to add this functionality to add this functionality labelled as "Block boosts" to the sender icon dropdown menu in
/network, /channel/username and idealistically also /hq streams

Please contribute to the discussion and/or give it a thumbs up at
