RE: Do you want to know who followed / stopped following you on Steemit?

in #steem • 8 years ago

Let me see if I get it.
When I go to a new account I can either follow or mute.
When I follow and then mute, I automatically unfollow.

If I mute an account, does that mean I wont see posts created by the account either on:

  • my home/feed when resteemed by people I follow
  • other aggregation pages such as new, hot, trending or promoted

Why not call them mutes and not ignores?
I believe this will make it easier to understand right away.

    Yes, I think you are right on all counts.

    The blockchain stores it as 'ignore', so I went with that, but I agree with you, mute would be more understandable.

    I updated the naming now, thanks for the feedback!

    I tried muting an account but I could still see their post on my feed that somebody I follow had resteemed. I had upvoted the post: would that affect the muting?

    I believe consistency is important: either they change steem or they change steemit. Thoughts?

    I am not 100% sure how muting works actually, thats a question for the steemit chat I think.

    Often times whats stored in a database is different to what is displayed to the end user. I think it it is ok that the two differ.
