Muting long threads

Does anyone know how to mute a long thread that just fills your stream? I've tried @pluralistic@mamot.fr 's suggestion of a filter, but it's not working (on his own long long long post, as it happens).
I read that if someone puts the first post as public then the following ones as unlisted, that would work. But the poster would have to do that.
Anyone?

One option is to use a timed mute, this is an option on the web interface and some third party apps.

On the web, mute the person but before you confirm the mute select "show options" and choose how long you mute them for.

(As someone else pointed out in your replies, the unlisted thing doesn't help if you're following the account).

I use timed mute so often that I wish I didn't have to click the 'show options' button each time.

Also useful when I get an enthusiastic new follower who just has to click the star for 10 or 20+ past photos. Just insure the 'Hide from Notifications' is ticked.

But what if I don't want to mute a person. Only a post with the whole thread?
For example: It starts with a greeting leike the german word "Moin" and I was polite and send a "Moin" back. After that the thread turned into a discussion obout the worldformular and the people throwing with hashtags and it gets longer and longer until everything crashes and the world implodes justkidding The word will not implode cause it is not hollow inside.
Am I right?
