Don’t forget to mute me!
Yeah that’s not my experience with potted plants
Yeah, this is treating the symptoms, not the cause.
My lemmy experience was immeasurably improved when I muted that wave of misogynists who came to lemmy recently. It’s far superior to just see them screaming into a void, rather than disproving their garbage over and over again.
How do you see someone screaming into the void if you muted them?
I can see that they’ve commented, but not what, and I can see if there are no responses to their comment. Occasionally my posts get comment counts on them, but I don’t see the message, and people aren’t responding to them either (or it would show more messages). It’s great.
Is muting different than blocking? Neither their names nor any replies to what they said show up for me.
Sorry I meant Blocking; if you make a post, it will (visually) show replies on it. However you don’t get any toast notifications, and you can’t see the message itself. Also if they reply to a comment in something you’ve posted, you’ll see a ‘see more replies’ or something on it, but it won’t actually open.
Oh, so it’s only if it’s a post you made? Okay.
Yes, but every time I try to mute people in real life the police get involved.
