scm, 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
_L1vY_, 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.
Lizette603_23, @_L1vY_ Yes, I heartily agree. When I discovered the variable mute my experience here got a lot more interesting, too.
Kevin20221110, 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.
Maybe it's time to look at Bluesky.
evelyn,
ai6yr, Let's see how this feature works, why don't we. #mute
nando161,
SocialistStan, @nando161 Already did a while back.
rauschma, One of my favorite Mastodon features: temporary muting (5 minutes – 7 days).
Important option: Set “Hide notifications from this user?” to OFF if you still want to be notified when they reply to or favorite your posts.
Wish: a 28 days option
rauschma, @lennybacon Nice! I’m only using the web user interface:
– Indefinite
– 5 minutes
– 30 minutes
– 1 hour
– 6 hours
– 1 day
– 3 days
– 7 daysThese choices look better to me.
simonzerafa, (edited ) If you're not already are aware of the #mute feature in Mastodon then it works wonders for your timeline.
Personally I start with a 7 day mute and go from there 🙂🤷♂️
colo_lee, @simonzerafa @jerry I'm not sure why I'd mute someone rather than blocking them.
In previous social media lives, I muted. Now I'm just blocking.
If I don't want to see someone's stuff, why would I give them access to my posts?
Edit to add: this is an honest question.
simonzerafa,
nando161, My #mute button has 2 #casualties so far today, #anyone else?!
nando161, @melissabeartrix never, you aren't making excuses for fascism or fascists of any sort so you have nothing to worry about :heart_cyber:
melissabeartrix, I anti those type of people ... They should be taken out the back for a little "talk' ... Giggles ... I'll hole them down for you to have a 'talk" to ... Hugz
Hugz - xXx
Studio_Gal, bloody hell I'm going to have to #mute the X-idiot's name on here aren't I
LesterHammerer, @Studio_Gal I did, a few months ago
Studio_Gal,
danielwilten, Vandaag mijn eerste post op Mastodon gedaan 😎
Ook mijn eerste discussie op Mastodon erna gehad 👍🏻
Helaas met iemand die na 3 berichten met een clown smiley en #mute reageert. 🥱
Hoopte dat het hier gezelliger dan op X / Twitter zou zijn, maar even aankijken nog...
Krisss, Dutch @danielwilten
Welkom, en het is echt leuker hier dan op Twitter hoor! Maar vervelend dat dit je eerste ervaring hier was ☹️
wagesj45, am i going to have to #mute mastodon.art for a while? lordy.
wiredfire, @wagesj45 no need, Curator will just defederate from you before you get a chance to mute 😂
howtophil,
schizanon,
ottaross, Had a very tasty dessert, and now my attention turns to VENUS!
It's #Monsterdon or maybe this episode should be #aliendon? - should be fun though.
#mute me for a couple of hours if you don't want to see my inane banter. Mute the hashtag if you don't want to see my compatriots either. We don't mind, really.
simonzerafa, If you're not already following @feditips then please do so. The Tips are useful and will help, especially if you are new to Mastodon.
Please do find the Mute and Block features for those users or topics you're not interested in hearing from.
lydiaconwell,
cazabon, (edited ) ... even better is when they say they're muting you, but they apparently don't, because you then get a butthurt message when you laugh at them having to loudly declare they're muting you...
#mute #attention #seeking #childish
Edit: can't type today...
btaroli, 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.
So exhausting. Be better, #Slack.
nando161, my #mute button is on fire from yesterday and this morning so far :anonymous: :antifa_100: 😸
nando161, my #mute button loving you #rightwing #centrist #assholes the last few #days, how bout you just fuck off as I do not care! :antifa_100: :anonymous:
