I really appreciate your take on downzapping and muting. I don't think I have anyone muted and I very rarely downzap content.
I see downzapping as something like a neighborhood watch for SN. If I see something that's the kind of super toxic internet trash that dominates most other social media, and makes them the horrible tribalistic hell-holes that they are, I'll downzap it.
That's a great description of downzapping and I think your aim with it is not dissimilar from mine (you just state it better).
