  1. It's funny how everyone on the #fediverse is so eager to show you how considerate and kind they are; CWing "eye contact", and scolding you for not using alt-text, but then they go around using stupid little code words like "bird site" and "that fucking guy" instead of using the words that people have #muted and #filtered so they don't have to hear that shit.

  6. If the method of muting words from a timeline worked (eg to silence nuisances-idiots-love), blocking That Surname would mean I wouldn't know what was going on today in Opinionated Country I don't live in.

    I do. The method doesn't work.

    #MutedWords isn't a useless feature, but a thimble isn't utterly useless at bailing water as ships sink. Muted words doesn't operate at a scale where it will work to achieve it's purpose.

    It's relied on to solve problems and doesn't solve them.

  8. Wishing I could mute words but that function won't work because it thinks I've left the title blank. I thought "muted topics" was a decent enough title. Maybe it's the Mastodon app that'sbeing difficult?
