Allow users to "Block" worlds
CraneVT
Users should have the freedom to hide content that upsets them, regardless of the context.
Giving users the ability to curate their own worlds tab to hide offensive content places the responsibility and the tools necessary to make choices that can only be made on an individual case-by-case basis in the hands of the individual.
Implementation:
Add a "Block World" button in the list of options when looking at a world on the page that shows instances on the right.
Add a "Blocked Worlds" tab similar to the "Blocked Users" tab.
Hide the location of any user on Blue or Green who is in a world you've blocked.
Warn users when they are about to accept an invite or join an instance in a world they have blocked.
Spoken Language / Live Play Example:
"So how would it work if you block a world and you want to join someone who is using that world you blocked, you won't be able to join them or how would this solution work exactly?"
Your friend, who is on green or blue, will have their location hidden. If you receive or request an invite from that user, you will see the world name appear as normal/part of the invite. When you hit the checkmark to accept the invite, an additional pop-up will appear. "You are about to join a world you have blocked. Are you sure you want to join?"

I support this. I think blocking a world should be a personal preference that gives users more control over what they want to see without negatively affecting the world or the people who enjoy it.
I especially like the idea of showing a warning instead of completely preventing someone from joining a blocked world. If a friend invites me there, I can still choose to join if I want to.
I would also want an easy way to view my blocked worlds and unblock one if I change my mind.
Overall, I think this gives users more control over their own experience without taking that choice away from anyone else.

We can filter avatars, why not worlds?

Agreed. While this is not perfect solution for recent "AI"-around burnouts and arguments, this enables some "filtering" manually.

I would like to see this play out in beta

I support this.

Here is a tangentially related suggestion to blacklist creations from a specific creator (which would also just block worlds).
Jar
Yes. A hide feature would be a lot better for players and creators than a like/dislike rating system.

I do love this!

I proposed something like this too in addition to following creators. https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/ability-to-follow-or-ignore-world-creators
