A lesser known Mastodon pro tip:

Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post?

The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation.

But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation:

Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it.

Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.

There are "Mute Conversation" buttons on other people's posts, but you have to view those posts within your "Notitications" section.

(Apologies if I'm being stupid and missing something? 🙂 )

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange I think she means muting as in "hiding a discussion that two people you are following are having for a long time and you don't care too read any of it". This wouldn't show up in your notifications, because you were never mentioned. You're not part of the conversation. It would only show up on the main timeline; which is where you want to hide it from by muting it.
