No one that would ever likely comment ever...let along on my posts.

I see the use cases for mute. But I personally don't think I should control who can and cannot comment on my posts so I don't use it.

Thus far the mute feature has not been abused even though it is a feature that may be prone to abuse. It's probably time to take another look since people are not using it for its intended purpose. We all knew there would come a time.

What I think I may want for mute moving forward: muter users are pushed to the bottom of the comments globally, a slightly lighter shade of gray text, with a note muted here and the OP or anyone that they respond to on that thread doesn’t get a notification in their email or their hubwheel? Last part I'm still unsure about. For sure the person who muted them shouldn't get a notif but other's probably should.
