now, to bring up another disagreement. what in the world is wrong with having a mute list? follows and mutes, two basic inputs for a feed algorithm. why not avail thyself of both?

If you can't handle reality, permanently muting people is a way to shield yourself from whatever they can teach you.

If you can handle reality, permanently muting people is just crippling yourself and causing harm.

Your ideal self shouldn't be scared of hearing anyone's words.

This posted before I was done with it - touch screen maybe glitching

I'll leave it as is though

also I still see some posts from muted users. Jumble is good about how it handles that

Then what is muting?

If it's soft enough to be a fair way to treat your fellow humans, I don't think "muting" is the right word for it. Rate limiting or deprioritizing or something might be more fair

Wording comes off weird. I meant "soft" like, not a complete mute. Not like "being soft"

I was implying, you could have a muting functionality that's softer than a other

app's muting, but still a toxic way to deal with people online unless it's so different it barely counts
