Agreed.

I quite like the idea of being able to ignore/hush users for yourself.

But being able to censor other people is taking things too far, personally. It's too open to abuse.

For example: posting a scathing reply to someone and then immediately muting them.

And it doesn't even work at its intended purpose - indeed it cannot work for its intended purpose. Because someone can always create a throwaway account and post the response.
