Hi guys, can someone clarify the Hubski filtering system please?

From the FAQ:

Users can control the content they see by 'filtering' users, tags, or domains. By using the 'mute' function, users can control who may comment on their posts.

Will the user be informed if his account has suddenly become filtered/censored? Or is this similar to ghost banning on YouTube where users won't have a clue they've been censored until weeks later when they realise noone is replying to their posts?

If a user is filtered by many others, and the user's posts don't generate thoughtful interaction, the user's posts may not appear in the global feed.

It would be helpful to know how many users one must be filtered by before they are considered unworthy and therefore censored from the global feed.

Is Hubski at all interested in protecting the free speech of minorities?

It feels that people with legitimate unpopular views or views that are simply different from the main stream consensus of Hubski, will not last long around here with this kind of filtering system.
