does anyone know the reasoning for following AND muting someone on #nostr ?

Well... I suppose it's because you like some of the persons content, but they post all the damn time, cluttering your feed.

If you keep them in your follows, you can visit their content when you feel like it.

idk

if i mute in damus, even if i follow i can't see the content.

maybe it's only specific clients??

Whattt sooo many. Hahahaha

You will see notes from your following list (contact list) on your feed.

And if you who discover the global feed (notes from relays) the notes by someone from your mute list will be hidden.

interesting...

so if you mute someone you follow because they post too much, you'll still see the content on your feed, but not in the global feed?

It depends on the client, but the muted user should be muted from your feed. But why you follow who you muted them? You should unfollow them.

it's not me.

i've just seen a few people mention that they do that. when i ask, never get a response—probably because i'm muted lol
