#muting — Public Fediverse posts

#Mastodon should not show #reply counts that include replies from people I've #muted. When I see that and I don't see the #replies I can't stop myself from opening it in incognito which just defeats the purpose of #muting!

Periodic PSA: If you find any content that I post objectionable, here are your options:

1. Ignore it.

2. Learn to use your filters. Really, this is the best answer if you cannot ignore it. I suspect that I'm not alone pushing past what you want, so...

3. Mute me.

4. Block me.

This morning, someone took me to task for having boosted a political post. They said they wanted to read my stuff about neurodivergence. I replied "use filters." They replied that they'd rather not read me.

Well...

Wish granted.

I blocked them.

That's what you get when you ask someone like me who cares not to disturb your peace. If you cannot use the tools at your disposal to filter out what you find objectionable, then my only option is to stop you from reading me.

Now, see, the political posts that I boost, and you think are not about neurodivergence, are *actually* about neurodivergence.

"Lol wut?"

My sense of social justice comes from my neurodivergence, and this is what makes me boost them.

This is my brand of self-care.

Have you ever considered why people in #Europe aren't choosing to have more children?

Europe is very heavily populated already.

It is your choice to label #Europeans who don't want irresponsible levels of #immigration and #populationGrowth as "#xenophobic", however by doing so you are over-simplifying a #complexProblem.

Making such a #generalisation, #muting and not wishing to engage in #debate might be #expedient but will only deepen the problems.
