I honestly don't know the answer to the question. I'm still pondering about it. I thought I'd put it out there to get more perspectives.
I like hearing from different perspectives and types of people. It's fine if people who don't like me want to comment or reply. I only mute if I get spammed.
I've got nothing against others who choose to mute others either. If they don't want to hear from people they don't agree with, that's for them to decide. I don't think I've got a right to others' attentions.
I think it's why I like Nostr so much. Everyone cures their experience as they wish it to be.
