Mutual "Timeout" feature

Continuing the discussion from Why don't you flag?:

I think letting folks take a timeout from each other (e.g. improved time/topic scoped mute) might actually be a better alternative to flags in many scenarios covered here, with better outcomes for everyone.

That’s another reason I am kinda changing my mind on muting being a bad thing.

Has there been any progress in developing such a feature?

I’m still somewhat bitter about the topic linked above being derailed and then locked, which, by all appearances, might have been prevented by such a feature.

I was recently reminded of the suggestion to implement such a feature, and am curious to know if it’s still on the table.

It is definitely on our radar, I do not have a precise date.
