I don't mute anyone. Actually, to be honest, unless I'm following that person or somehow otherwise notice their username, I don't even know who I'm talking to most of the time. So if someone is rude/offensive, I'll just assume that they're having a bad day and move on (I've only seen a handful of them anyway). So I let them be. If they're truly something negative, somehow, I find that Hubski does a good job of keeping them out. If it's a whole class, their posts will usually be marked with a tag that I can filter out. But I find that muting people for ideological reasons is completely against the idea of Hubski, and the people who seek an echo chamber would be better suited at Reddit/Voat/Tumblr considering the whole point and metrics of Hubski is about conversation. -30 minutes later edit- Correction: I WILL, however, filter out of my feed people who muted me because what's the point of a thread you can't reply in...
