No - do you feel some hostility emanating from it?

I just want to keep track of users I'm muting/filtering and why - in case they send angry messages or something

There's only one person on the list currently and I know nothing about them or why I can't comment on their posts - so I obviously don't hate them..

I think the muting function is very silly.. my comments on their posts should just be hidden from them, or their posts should be hidden from me.. I thought Hubski was supposed to be anti-censorship? I thought that we were supposed to be our /own/ moderators, not moderating for others in our own threads.. but whatever..

Here's a comment from insomniasexx linking many previous discussions about Hubski moderation.

I was just curious of the intent. I kind of think it's a little weird the way that is set up as well. You could try messaging then and see why you were blocked. I did that with rd95 and we get along well now.

Grendel has a lot of people muted. He's not been around for a few days now though.

SadPandaIsSad  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I was actually wondering where he has been lol

tla  ·  3194 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Probably voat. He'd fit in there better.

SadPandaIsSad  ·  3194 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I don't really know what that is lol.

It's a clone of Reddit with a better UI.

It became popular after the whole "chairman/literally Hitler Pao" thing on Reddit.

I see... I will give it look-over but I kinda like it here. Lol

I just took a break for the weekend, this site has been toxic lately.

SadPandaIsSad  ·  3194 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I have actually found that do be true as well. Reddit influx?

Grendel  ·  3194 days ago  ·  link  ·  

People here like to make fun of reddit but they don't realise how similar the two communities are.

SadPandaIsSad  ·  3194 days ago  ·  link  ·  

To be honest a lot of people came here from Reddit. I did. So it only makes sense that at this point the community might be that way. I feel this is a much more intellectual place by comparison. Then again I want really immersed in the Reddit community. Just lurked there.

It's a personal reference - so I added the ignore tag.. I'm hoping that the tag will fill with rubbish and people will filter the tag out of their stream, so people can comfortably share a post without notifying anyone - and then they can link to the post in another post (like a hidden post)

I don't care if people mute me - they can do what they want, and I'll do what I want, but I'm going to filter their posts and hush their comments, because they don't want me to interact with them, so I wont.

I have #spam filtered and it still shows up in global for me, so it's probably not the best option right now.

pushka  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, global will ignore all filters. I'm ok with this,
