I wonder how many people have blocked or muted me here. As far as I'm aware, there is no way of finding out.

I know of three users who have blocked me, but there could be many more. Two of those announced they were going to do so, while I discovered the other block myself.People don't say if they are muting you, so I could be silenced by hundreds! Somebody suggested they were using hashtags to mute my Kpop posts; that's fine with me, as I have no desire to clutter timelines with unwanted material.

I do very little blocking and muting myself. I have blocked and reported a handful of users whose posts were blatantly racist or antisemitic. I also had to do the same to a user who posted what appeared to be child pornography. Generally, however, I try to be as open minded as possible; I don't think it's good for me to hide away from stuff I disagree with or dislike.

I have muted a few* users whose posting threatened to overwhelm my timeline. I feel a little bad about that, because they are probably nice people who are unaware that I have chosen to put their passions aside.

Do others block and mute more than I do?

*EDIT More than " a few" -- 29, in fact, when I looked earlier today to see how many I had muted. So perhaps I'm not as open minded as I thought!

Thank you. I'm honoured to be on your unmuted list!

Periodic PSA: If you have for habit of boosting all the things, you run the risk of getting your boosts muted.

I'm trying to keep the signal-to-noise ratio under control.

So yeah... Someone was posting too much stuff. My timeline was overwhelmed by them, and the message of their posts was about the same.

I muted them.

And Mastodon noticeably took time to re-filter my timeline.

That's proof that I was not just being a curmudgeon.
