Pretty sure all the mute/ignore stuff is still active. The only thing that kind of bugs me is that absent seeing a comment from somebody that I'm obviously ignoring, there's no way to easily go back, review the list (if I have one...?), un-mute/ignore as necessary.

I like the idea re. "sort by," although I also like actively digging through stuff that maybe hasn't been shared just for lack of opportunity and kind of helping it along.

Used to bug me that I can't see peoples' bio blurbs, but I've come around to appreciating that. Forces you to interact purely on the level of the words they offer you, rather than interacting on some loosely-founded preconception of who they are, how old, how they define themselves at the moment, etc.

The one design thing that still bugs me: the little notification wheel at the top that shows whether you have unread whatever. Given that the rest of zen mode uses the really neat gear icon instead of the wheel, it'd be nice if the notification wheel followed suit, and changed colors accordingly. Totally unnecessary nitpick.
