As a hellthread unwilling participant … that mute thread is wildly undervalued … 😂
I am still figuring out how to prioritize some tickets over others. To me high signal is if users are willing to put forth a bounty on a request. See https://bountsr.org/.
For instance, mute threads has a 200k sats bounty. There is a PR submitted for mute threads.
