The mute feature is far friendlier here and not the punitive, all-or-nothing cudgel it is on Twitter.

Mute durations include:

5 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
6 hours
1 day
3 days
7 days
Indefinitely

So if you're #newhere but overwhelmed and need to shut out the noise as you acclimate, or if you're here here and want to temporarily filter out the newcomers, consider the flexibility and benevolence of a Masto-mute😊 #FediTips #Mute #moderation
