RE: So I Finally Used The Mute Button

in #steemit7 years ago

I did not realize I could just mute them, thought I could only mute people I follow. These are people with screennames like "nastynooky" and "dirtygirldancers" and they post nothing but soft porn, and I am just not into it. Being able to just eliminate them from all my feeds was a trick I did not realize was available until today. It is nice. It is not that I am a snowflake who needs a safe space, I am just not into it, don't want it in my face.

Sort:  

If they're showing up on your "Home" page -- how are they getting there? Are you not following them? My understanding is "Home" only shows posts and resteems from those you follow. Perhaps it was a resteem that one of those you're following performed?

My other thought along those lines is, if they're showing up in "Home" and if only those you follow show up, then it might be that you followed them "early on"? I'm following over 700 people now, and don't remember everyone I followed. I'm reluctant to mute or unfollow anyone, although I have unfollowed several who were pushing scams, affiliate links, etc.

And, people keep muting and unfollowing me, without letting me know why. Not that I expect them to, just, that's how it goes. :)
