Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

Can you hear me now?
Just nod if you can hear me!
Anyone? Anyone at all?
Bueller?

It's a whole lot harder to hear when you got the mute button pushed.

I'll admit, I am conflicted.
Muting spammers sounds like a good idea.
Even better to mute those annoying trolls that make you face your reality in ways that you would rather not.

Me? I flag the spammers and get paid for it by calling @steemflagrewards and listing a category.
Spam, comment spam, bid bot abuse, join the discord for more,.... https://discord.gg/yfd95Sy

For the trolls i usually analyze what they have said and begin addressing issues they should resolve to be a better person.
Havent had to mute one, yet.

However, I do see the utility of reducing friction for others, so here is @emrebeyler's new tool for muting.

It allows creating and following lists.

Be sure you don't run yourself dry of resource credits by following very large lists all at once!
