@siggy47 recently asked about muting settings. I don't think I mute very liberally but maybe I do.
Currently I have 21 accounts muted. How about you

None. I have pretty thick skin.

That's a good quality but I think some people just don't like the noise or distraction.
reply
I'm a walking distraction. It would be hypocritical to mute anyone for that 😁

Goose egg baby! I used to be more generous with the downzaps though. I gotta get back to that.
@k00b @ek Any chance an easter egg could be added for quality downzapping? I'm pretty sure I've benefitted a great deal from this amazing service, as I'm sure are many stackers who were spared my downzapped posts. Maybe the cattle prod?? or electric fence?

lol yeah, I'd like to encourage good downzapping like we do with good zapping.
We have a great post on this: #619793

Sheriff badge it's gotta be a sheriff badge

i always thought i would never waste zaps on downzapping, but a sheriffs badge could do convince me
reply
Oh man... I'd love that.

No muted users but I’ve muted about 30-40% of territories

A ton, makes SN👌
reply
zero. SN still doesn’t have enough posts or users to generate much noise. Keep it up, k00b!
reply
I have 0, and it will probably remain 0; I won't mute anyone.
reply
I have zero. I like getting the full SN experience. I have been considering opening the wild west mode...just havent yet. I dont know if I want that, especially if I use SN at work occasionally.
reply
Philosophically speaking, wouldn't the full experience include using the mute feature?
reply
But if you mute someone, when they comment about something, you wouldnt be able to see it. Especially if they comment about something that you are interested in, wouldnt that be a shame to not see it? I think it is better just to ignore them.

And what if you miss a post about something you might be interested in because you were too busy scrolling through slop?
reply
There is too much here. By now, I know many of the users here on SN. I am able to tell which are making good posts, and which arent. But there will always be some that slip by. Its life.

45 and they are all highly regarded.

Very few actual users. Tons of bots
reply
I have none. Just skip past people if you don’t agree always if you mute you might miss something good from these people
reply
Just one. I make sure to give people plenty of rope.
reply
Thanks for not mentioning my user name.
By the way, how did you see this post anyway?
reply
Ha! No, you're pretty comfortably not the worst account on SN.
reply
You know, a fake fight would be fun.
Back in the day one of my more creative co-workers made two twitter accounts. One was basically quoting stuff I said in the office(without my knowledge mind you). The other was like the opposite of me.
She was so a lot of fun to work with.
reply
I so desperately want to know who it is.
reply
It is a seriously uninteresting account. I mentioned to @Car on our podcast that I'm pretty sure it's just a CCP chatbot.
It makes stupid comments, but in a way that I feel compelled to respond, which always descends into the same tedious conversation as the previous dozen times.
I muted it because it's always the same conversation, which gave me high certainty that I wouldn't miss anything by muting it. If the dumb frustrating conversations were different from each other, I would have allowed it to continue.
reply
I respect your principles even more now. After @siggy47's original post, I went and read a couple of posts from my mutes, and one in particular made me want to barf and then go find a tire iron.
It could be an opportunity for self-growth to leave that shit visible, but then, I've got so many opportunities for that already.
reply
Hold up. You have a podcast with @Car?
reply
It sure sounds like I do, from how I phrased that.
reply
Wurds is hard.
reply
I know who it is ;)
reply
I think a bunch of you do.
reply
I ended up muting him too. Though I think long after you had already done so.
reply
I have a REALLY good guess.
reply
I’d look through your past comments to figure it out, but you have quite a few
reply
mostly bots, but also one or two extremely low quality, highly regarded commies

Darthcoin and DesertDave

I didn't ask for user names...

Currently I have 21 accounts muted. How about you
Did you click "more"? That was I thought about me as well until I clicked "more".
reply
zero!
reply
NONE...I keep things peaceful
reply
Does muting help?
reply
Your number is pretty high! I've muted 3 Nyms only.
reply
Why should I mute someone? S.N. It's an amazing platform and if I don't want to see someone's content then just don't watch it. Peace and SAT to all.
reply
Just one, someone I've noticed on other social media platforms over the years. Muted them only because I find them annoying.
