‘Social scientists have warned Zuck all along that the Facebook theory of interaction would make people angry and miserable’

“Since the earliest days of Facebook, social scientists have sent up warnings saying that the ability to maintain separate "contexts" (where you reveal different aspects of yourself to different people) was key to creating and maintaining meaningful relationships”

Huh, neither muting nor blocking someone seems to keep their toots from being boosted into my home tl. That shouldn't be like this, right?

Intuitively, for me, blocking should mean that I don't see anything of a person and they don't see anything of me. So, definitely no boosts. And muting that I only see when they mention me, and otherwise they're filtered out of my timelines. So, no boosts either.

(Muting would be what I want to do here, I only tried blocking to see if that would work.)
