Follow

what does it mean to me, an average awoo.space user, if another domain is "silenced"? does that mean I won't be able to see toots from people on that domain that I follow? or something else?

(please do not interpret this as having any opinion on any aspect of the current Discourse; this is seriously honestly just this technical question)

@green

It means their messages won't show up in your federated timeline, unless someone else on your server boosts it.

If you follow that person, you'll still see their messages in your home timeline as usual.

(There are some nuances, but that's the main gist of it.)

@ghedipunk ah! thank you, that's the information I was looking for. :)
