I think the apology makes things complicated but sometimes mutes are done by accident or weren't meant to last forever in the first place. I would like a feature that would offer un-mute to muted accounts for an incremental amount. Start at 1sat and grow x5 every time. Allow to add an optional message. Show amount paid and messages once I click mute again. My client should just notify me of the un-mutes and the messages but it should not ask for explicit confirmation.
