Seems like a lot of agonizing over the decision to introduce a feature which amounts to "Now you can check one box instead of three, and also prevent something that no one was complaining about."

I do not mute any active users. What's the point, when I have to count on everyone else also muting them to keep them from annoying me? It's like voting.

I am not interested in controlling anyone else's behavior. I just want to control my experience. I would prefer an option to not see comments from people who annoy me.

Collapsible comments is a great addition. I still have to scroll through the tree to see if there are any recent comments, though. Adding a timestamp to the collapse marker (showing time since last comment in the entire tree) would be ugly, but perhaps it could be added as a tooltip?
