Let individuals decide who want to mute. Do not assume you know better than users.

Your statement is far too simplistic on a large scale.
Muting stuff does not make seriously damaging things go away.
Might just as well say “Just let people in the real world decide who they want to rape, rob & kill and if you dont want to see it, then dont look!”
Decentralized self regulation is key.
Note the word: Decentralized.
Raping, robbing and killing are crimes. Looking is not.
You have all the rights to impide raping, robbing and killing. But you have zero rights at telling others what they can look at.
