A "remove this one specific post from my timelines" button would be really nice to have

@Felthry sometimes i fantasize about being able to grab posts and just toss them like they're physical objects

and there could be heuristics there like, once you've thrown away x posts by y user, you start seeing less or none posts by y user

there's a lot of potential here :o

@bleak ehhhh I don't like that personally

If I follow someone I want to see all their stuff, not some randomly selected subset of it

@bleak but if it starts showing you fewer posts from that person, how does it know which ones to avoid?

@Felthry i mean what i was imagining mainly was just once you throw away a certain number of posts from a certain user it just stops showing them to you entirely, and the reduced frequency aspect of it was kind of a spitball i wasn't married to

@bleak That's not really any different from muting them though, and I'd prefer that be done intentionally--the most I'd sign on for is some kind of notification "you seem to be hiding a lot of things from this user, would you like to mute them"

Follow

@Felthry i was missing the word 'sensible' somewhere in that last toot, like,

"mute user" functions to be sensible
