I hope SN remains usable in that mode for you.

I held this position for a long time. On SN I mute nobody.

But Twitter is utterly unusable now and it only takes muting two dozen bots to improve the timeline a lot.

I agree, but there's also the possibility that a bot has been trained on X exchanges, making it difficult to distinguish from a normal human asshole or an autist.

I downzap obvious bots, but I don't mute them. Muting is for noisy assholes.

I finally muted someone on SN: how to achieve this dubious honor

I downzap obvious bots, but I don't mute them. Muting is for noisy assholes.
