    To be fair, Musk said you’d still be able to mute users, which means you wouldn’t see any of their posts or replies, but they can see your posts.

    It’s like you’re shadow banning them from your own app experience lol

        It’s not like blocking was stopping that, since you could view the feed of a user who blocked you by just opening a link to their profile in incognito mode.

        Yeah but with blocking, the user is made aware that they were blocked and can then try to circumvent it by making another account and whatnot. With mute aka “personal shadowban”, the user isn’t aware they were muted and will just keep using that same account to harass, not realizing that their target isn’t seeing their crap.
