Update to Mute Feature

hopefully u get a good result

Hello everyone,I need some help,I’m 3 days late now I’m excited to go a PT tomorrow if my period don’t show up yet or wait for then next day?

😂😂😂

Omg I completely agree! These days you can't say anything without a debate about it...I guess no one can say their own opinion anymore without someone else having something to say about your opinion...everyone's got to be political correct these days...

No one else thought the “beating a dead horse” was absolutely hilarious cause she was talking about porn?! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ 🍆🤜🏻

I completely agree with this

Yeah but it’s life.

yeah you got that right.

Doesn't matter what its supposed to be about. This world is FULL of assholes.

Yep

My feeling is that someone who goes to that extent to create themselves a bubble will a) quickly be inhabiting a virtual ghost town and b) was unlikely to change their opinion in the first place. And I'd probably prefer that to them just reporting every single person who disagrees with them and/or going around calling them dumb bitches (or whatever.)

Giiiiiiiiiirl where is the LIE 👀

Thanks for answering Rachel. I’m not thrilled about people essentially being able to wink themselves out of existence to specific users. I keep picturing someone like banned user Tina manipulating it. I hope that’s rare user behavior. I’m also unapologeticly fucking nosy, but that’s a me issue I guess lol. The mute/report count is super interesting. I can see how they’d rack up for any CC regular, but it’s good to know you differentiate.

Just to answer a few questions here - All reported posts and comments will be reviewed by an admin (barring a glitch or something). Generally, most reports are made by people other than those directly involved, so I don't think muting will impact that very much. Lastly, let's say you mute Person A (let's call her Alice.) From Alice's point of view, it will look exactly the same as if you deleted all your posts and left the app. She won't see any of your future stuff, or any of your past stuff. I'm not saying that there aren't people who are determined to be rude that they will continue to wage a campaign under those circumstances, but they're pretty few and far between, and tend to be so extreme that they're reported by lots of people. Plus, from what I can tell, people who do that sort of thing live most for being able to upset their targets. And we also have an admin tool that shows us who is racking up mutes/blocks, comment flags, or user reports. If someone is being a nuisance, they climb up that list pretty quickly, and we know there's a problem when someone who isn't one of the usual suspects crop up. (Note: the usual suspects don't mean users who are trouble, just people who may cluster to the top of the list for other reasons. For example, people who spend most of their time arguing about highly contentious issues just naturally attract more reports/mutes without it being a sign of anything nefarious. But if you're a user who comes out of nowhere and are now at the top of the chart, well, that's usually a sign of trouble.)

I didn’t block anyone. I simply see a few potential issues with the feature specifically as it relates to this group. I’ve always chosen not to use mute, and it feels like the new system makes that choice for me now. If the majority of users like it though that’s fine.
