still don't understand what muting a domain actually does, since I am still being shown posts from there #mastodon #fediverse #muting #blocking #WorseTalks

I don't care enough to go to #Twitter to find out, but is #ElonMusk getting rid of #mutes too, or just #blocks?

He's right in some ways; #block doesn't make sense when the blockee can just log out and see your content anyway.

As long as they keep #muting I don't think #blocking actually matters.

The biggest problem with #Calckey is that it shows you people you've #blocked/#muted in all sorts of places; when your #followers #boost them, in #antennas, #search results, in #lists etc: https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey/issues/9995#issuecomment-952968

You basically can't get away from abusive users when you use Calckey

Well that was fast. My latest article has been published: The Problem With Moderation. I go over the issue of discrimination in moderation policies. The problem with automated moderation. The problem with ambiguous rules. Muting and blocking. The rehabilitative vs punitive models of moderation.

Here is your periodic reminder that if you drop a #link without a #description in a #toot on #Mastodon and that's a usual thing with you, I'm #muting or #blocking you.

If you are also a #Medium writer I may block you there too. Bare links on Mastodon often equate with shit writing on Medium.

I've muted or blocked a bunch of folks already today.

Just an elderly crank, #Muting potty "humor" for 60 years--ever since I outgrew it at oh, say, age 10 or 11.

#toot away my friend, there'll be no #muting here!

@nellie_m I am a prolific muter of non-AltTexting Wankers. But, I do wonder what the follow-on effects are of one person muting another; how does this ripple out in the wider #Fediverse …. Anyways, back to the muting….
#Mastodon #AltText #Muting

Truthfully tired of seeing people have their entire #Twitter feed #echoed here. I'm going to start either #muting or #blocking these folks. If I wanted to see your Twitter feed I'd have stayed there and followed you there. I didn't and I don't.

For those of you who feel the urge to do that, consider why you even joined #Mastodon and why others #departed Twitter.

Hint to get away from that #toxic #environment.

Please don't bring that crap here, perhaps you should reconsider your actions.

I’m now #muting - for 1 month – anyone who doesn’t add an ALT tag to the images, or other media content, they add to their Mastodon posts. If folk aren’t bothered about inclusivity, then I’m not particularly interested in them.

#Mastodon clients should let you browse your feeds while showing only the toots that match your #filters. This way you can quickly review to see if you are accidentally #muting more than you intended to.

@johninfante @lolgop

But the #muting function works.

Is there a way to #muteUsers based on the time that they joined Fediverse — specifically, November 2022?

Doing it manually is going to be a massive #PITA.

The only thing better than instant oatmeal at midnight is the sound of silence without a predator, nor industrialists, nor politicos, trendies, and preppies in sight spouting snooty high-mindedness that a peasant in the desert cannot defend against in the difference between "realize" and "realise." #muting #nonsense #poppycock :BlobfoxThinking:

Since joining #Masto I have become used to #Muting and #Blocking accounts, it helps immensely. It has also made me re-evaluate other #SocialMedia #Platforms such as #Instagram where I have gone through both my #Follower & #Following lists then brutally hacked away at them.

My thoughts were "Do I really enjoy/benefit from that person's #Content?" & "Just because that person has millions of followers do they really need me to follow them too?" ... my answer was a flat "nope" to hundreds of them, ergo: *unfollow*.

Now I'm looking squarely at #YouTube, especially with their constant exposure of bullshit identikit #Photography related accounts, the only way to stop them from coming back up in searches is to #BlockThem.

Muting, a form of Shadowbanning brought to an individual preference level, I hope never loses favor.

I love the idea that some blowhard continues to waste time generating blather and simply think I have ignored them or they *won* something sits easy with me.
