Blocking account via REST API mutes the account, rather than blocking the account

[agrathwohl]

Describe the current behavior

Sending a POST request to the REST API on my peertube 6.0.3 instance as documented here does not perform the correct action. Instead of blocking the account, it mutes the account instead. I cannot find another REST API endpoint in the documentation that blocks an account.

Steps to reproduce

1. Acquire admin credentials to get an admin-level access_token.
2. Send bearer-authenticated POST to /api/v1/server/blocklist/accounts with a JSON body such as: { "accountName": "testaccount@domain" }.
3. On the Peertube admin GUI, the user is now listed as muted, not blocked.

Describe the expected behavior

Expected behavior is the user gets blocked, not muted.

Hi,

PeerTube supports a mute++ feature, between a mute and a block: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/mute#what-does-mute-do
As described in the documentation, it mutes the user but also block some interactions on your videos.

See the following issue for a complete blocking feature: #1087
