re: filtered / muted / hushed.

Nobody that I regularly interact with on this site is on any of those lists. In fact the vast majority of those people are people who came during influxes and stopped using the site within a week, so the numbers are very inflated. I'm very judicious in curating my feed so whenever we have a lot more people show up I spend some time culling a lot of them.

And hey - I wasn't trying to single you out - yours was the number I picked as an example.

No worries! Your comment and the context of it caused me to think "that is an astonishingly high number, isn't it?" and based on your comment I don't want anybody here whose opinion and input I value feeling uncomfortable thinking anything along the lines of what you just posted - especially since those are exactly the people who are not on those lists.
