I only mute people who give me that "le reddit army trollolo" vibe. But I don't silence them, instead I use the option to put them at the bottom of the thread. I think i have 3-4 people muted this way.
Yeah, I think that's called hush. That's what I'd do if I didn't want to have someone's stuff jumping right up at me generally. I don't want to offend someone or keep someone out of a discussion just because I noticed I'm not typically interested in what they have to say.
