# [[Agora user perspective]]
The [[Agora]] currently is slightly more [[consensus]]-prone than [[dissensus]]-prone. This has many benefits, but it also precludes ways to socialize dissensus.

[[User namespace]]s have already been implemented as `agora/@user/node`. We should build upon that and create user-centred perspectives of the Agora.

An `agora` has content which was built by consensus/convention/aggregation between its users. An `agora/@user` namespace builds upon the `agora`'s content, but hides/marks certain content according to certain `@user`'s [[agora action]]s.

This was inspired by [[@maya]]'s [federated notes](https://maya.land/notetaking/federated-notes#no-automation-of-equality).

## Block action
The `block` action means `a specific node/subnode should not be linked in any way to another specific node/subnode`.

Specific subnodes (`@user/subnode`) and nodes (`node`) can be `block`ed. All subnodes from another user can also be `block`ed (`@user`).

### Possible syntaxes
We should have multiple conventions:

**Inline:**

- tag action: `#block [[node]]`
- link action: `[[block]] [[node]]`
- list:

		- [[block]]
			- [[@user]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[@user/subnode]]
		- #block 
			- [[node]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[@user]]

**Front matter**

- Markdown front matter: `agora-block: node`
- HTML data attribute: `data-agora-block='node'`

## Hide action
The `hide` action means `a specific node/subnode/user should not appear on this user perspective`.

Specific subnodes (`@user/subnode`) and nodes (`node`) can be `hide`ed. An user can also be `hide`ed (`@user`).

The `hide` action can be interpreted as a global `block`: `none of my nodes and subnodes should be linked in any way to an user's nodes and subnodes`.

### Possible syntaxes
We should have multiple conventions:

**Inline:**

- tag action: `#hide [[node]]`
- link action: `[[hide]] [[node]]`
- list:

		- [[hide]]
			- [[@user]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[@user/subnode]]
		- #hide 
			- [[node]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[@user]]

**Front matter**

- Markdown front matter: `agora-hide: node`
- HTML data attribute: `data-agora-hide='node'`
- (in the future) [[agora garden yaml file]]:

		agora-hide:
			- node
			- node
			- user/subnode
			- user:
				- subnode
				- subnode
			- user
