@FediTips@social.growyourown.services This is really useful to temporarily mute those who like to write long threads, so their posts don't flood your feed. Bookmark that first "1/264" post, then mute them for however long you think it'll take them to write their epic!
That way you can still read it, but in your own time. 🤷🏻♂️

Yup!
It's also handy for cooling down discussions that are in danger of getting a bit too heated, where you still respect the people and want to see their posts in the long term, but want to step back from them for a short while.
If you've ever had to bite your tongue to stay silent in a discussion, timed mutes are a great tool for helping with this. By the time the mute expires, it's easier to view the discussion calmly. It reduces accidental arguments and toxicity.
