I have to admit I generally enjoy slack. But in any community there are going to be assholes. One thing I dislike about Slack is the inability to #mute or #block people. Yes some of them utterly deserve it, and I don’t think I should have to tolerate their virtriol in the normal course of my day.
So instead I must manually stop myself from reading their words and absorbing their attitude. Because if I speak out about then I’m the jerk.
Is there a way to automatically mute accounts identified as being a bot? If not, I think that would be a great feature. That and automatic muting of accounts with posts predominantly not written in your native language. I wish I was multilingual but unfortunately I'm not. #mute#bots#posts#language
C'est pour ça qu'il est fort Dupont. Tu peux tenter de le retenir, il sera là quoi qu'il arrive au relai et au soutien pour faire vivre la béchigue. #Rugby#ChampionsCup#STEXE#TOUvEXE
This is such a weird menu. No choices more than a week, unless you want “forever”. In my case I wanted “until I forget about this loser” = 6–12 months.
(The user I was muting was not @svat, it was someone else.)
@mjd looks as if the client API doesn't have that limitation – you can specify a mute duration in seconds. So if you use something other than the web UI you might be able to get what you want. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/accounts/#mute
When you go to mute, block, or unfollow someone, it should display the previous interactions you've had with that person so you don't accidentally get rid of someone who has been cool for one bad post just because you can't remember.
One of my favorite features of Mastodon is the variable #mute. It means that if I don't want to see a hashtag topic, I can mute it for that day. Or if I'm mad at someone, I can mute them for an hour until I feel more reasonable. Or if I'm searching a topic and there's an account that has 5 million posts on it that are not what I want, I can mute that account for an hour and only see the other search results. And so forth.
Anyone else annoyed by the changes to mute and block that have occured on Mastodon?
I found a 6 hour mute useful when someone start filling my timeline with excessive posts. Just a little timeout for them so I can see what else other people are posting.
Can't believe I'm even getting started with this again, because this specific point seems to be utterly irrelevant to all the men who want #QuotePosts / #QuoteBoosts or whatever you want to call them and who don't care how they're used
The problem is that women with opinions would be quote posted to cc lists of misogynist, incel males all of whom would proceed to brigade her for hours and hours with vivid, angry threats
I saw it happen repeatedly on Twitter
"Oh, well, she should just #Mute and #Block all of them then!"
Yeah
Women with unpopular opinions should spend all their time on social media fighting a rear-guard action against woman-haters who are attacking them in packs
Or maybe never stick their necks out again, which is the desired effect
"Sit down and shut up, bitch, but fix me a sammich first!"
#idgaf about #taylorswift or any other associated alleged multi-millionaire/billionaire/trillionaire.... #mute button getting a workout today endorsing some bitch gives nothing to the world other than #yuppie love songs & #carbondioxide and endorses rightwing fascist joe biden, yes trump is a rightwing fascist also... the #oxymorons by #swifties are proving how #daft they actually are to #politics... #smd!
If you are annoyed by people who boost too much (like me 😁 ), you need not mute them! Just go to their profile and choose behind the 3 dots "hide boosts from @ xy". This is also the easiest way to get only original posts by a followee.
It seems like it's not the UI or the usability, that get's people to leave #Mastodon nowadays but - small, yet vocal and totally not self-critical - parts of the community, that can't stop lecturing others about the #Fediverse and how to act/post/comment here or about what.
German Mastodon had the ridiculous debate about #Zoom, other parts similar stuff (scolding someone for #bw-photos... really?).
Maybe the recent update helps people get it together, otherwise it will get even quieter here.
@mho Some folks are just assholes that want to dictate others how to post instead of pressing #mute and/or #block button if they can't handle someone...
But then again we see Egoists like #Ro abusing his #blocklist (#TheBadSpace) as a tool for personal vendettas and to silence critics, so I'm not surprised about it...
Reminder that a device which makes cars obey the speed limit could cost $50 each and be plug-and-play for the vast majority of cars. Do it at registration renewal and we'll have them all finished in 2yrs.
I finally figured out how to use #Bluesky; you get yourself added to other people's #mutelists and then you go through and follow everybody else on those same lists.
