Contact management: Grouping multiple contacts into one contact in the Contact list view of your account #14111

Sounds like some interesting idea. I only need a clue how to do this. |
I don't see the benefits outweighing the effort to implement this. This adds another layer to an already complex settings backend and frontend, introduces potential bugs and problems and overhead to maintain the feature. Can you give an example of another platform doing this and share a few screenshots of their implementation? |

Is the feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As more people join the other platforms of the Fediverse (Pixelfed, PeerTube etc.) they might have multiple accounts, each dedicated to posting various types of content. They may also have multiple accounts on multiple servers as well. If you get bored or for some whatever other reason you want to unfollow, block or ignore the person, you'd have to search for each of that person's accounts.
Describe the feature you'd like
I was thinking about a way for a person to merge/unmerge multiple follows in a single entry, with all the actual profiles hidden under a dropdown arrow, or with the fedi adresses listed below their name. It's kinda like in your phone (on Android at least, in Google Contacts), where under the same contact you can call them, send them a WhatsApp message (or whatever app you have installed, even through XMPP), send them money through Revolut (again, if you have it installed) etc.
You could collapse/uncollapse this view to see all the person's profiles. You could block/ignore/unfollow the person, and the action could be sent to all the accounts in that bundled view. The "bundle" could be kept in the block/ignored view so you could unblock/unignore it whenever you'd want. Or, if you'd like to hyperorganize things, if you've already blocked one of these "bundles" or group of contacts or whatever you call it, but the blocked person still created another account to harass you, you could even add that to the blocked bundle and have the person blocked automatically.
And last but not least it could make up for a tidier contact list.
What do you say?
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are, indeed, already some ways you can group contacts, such as the circles, but they're more like distribution lists/custom feeds. You cannot actually manage the contacts with these. I was thinking about this for contact management more.
