As for myself, I haven't muted any territory yet. I might in a hopefully not-too-distant future when too much SN activity hides the good content too quickly. Now, especially in my timezone, it's usually calm enough for a big part of the day to catch the good content in recent that doesn't make it to the hot page because of different interests.
I only muted a few users as I noticed they managed to disrupt my pleasant SN experience. The thing I noticed then though is that when I see in a thread comment by someone you muted it ends up triggering my curiosity and I read the comment after all. I'd rather have it to be unclickable, where I'd have to unblock the user if I really want to read it.
Thanks for the comments, it's interesting to read people's different behaviors.
Yea I usually also read the comments made by someone I’ve muted. I still like how it works because it’s an active choice to look at it though. It might be nice to see who the comment is from, but just hide the comment itself, if you’ve muted them
