Ability to mute users

submitted by Drewski from self.AskSaidIt

The sub mute feature is great, but I'd also like to be able to mute users as well. It would also be nice to differentiate between muting their submissions and their posts.

Still on our todo list, but ty for posting about it.

Their posts and their comments?

        I wasn't laughing at YOU, I was laughing at the far left, antifa-style of complaintards who think anybody needs permission to be in the same space as they.

        When I read this topic, the first person who came to mind was you.

          dcjogger. His old news spam is annoying.

          Yeah I mean why bother getting out of your comfort bubble, right? Silence the ones you don't agree with. That's fascis... youth liberalism right?

          Whats the point of having subs at all then? If the goal is to make yourself as uncomfortable as possible then just make the whole thing a free for all, no subs and no rules besides the global ones. Maybe people get double karma for posting gore and have highscores for how many libs you trigger /s

          Silence the ones you don't agree with.

          Not listening to someone isn't silencing them. Its not like a ban from the platform, its just a user not seeing your posts. I don't think we should encourage people to mute everyone that doesn't make saidit feel like their personal cuddle bubble, but it doesn't seem like a stretch that if you have the right to say whatever you want then I at the very least have the right to not listen or not be forced to listen.

          that would be cool tbh

          [–]Otacon 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

          It'd certainly shake shit up

          [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

          it's how a message board i used to go to for a band was, they had two boards really one for the band and one for offtopic stuff, the offtopic board got more popular actually and people that didn't even like the bad were using it and you started a thread on whatever and they were all there, better than this separating style to hundreds of subs, most of them dead.

          I mean, I see your point. I agree with you.

          [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

          Agreed. For example, a user asked me to clarify my position on something. I make a detailed explanation for him, which he then goes on to ignore, just keeping on the same tack as before my long detailed explanation.

          That's the guy I want to mute. He's not worth talking to.

          the spam is totally killing my vibe!

          [–]Tiwaking 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

          Seriously: dcjogger keeps posting old news (like 2012 old) everywhere. I would like to mute him just to keep the new posts looking actually new.

          you can block them but unlike with reddit this only happens if they send you a reply first

          [–]mikipika 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

          It would be a nice feature for sure. As for me, I like just IGNORING the few icky users who will fade away because we can simply scroll past their nonsense.

            Dont be angry now. It was a beautifull poem

            [–]Tiwaking 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

            Seriously. dcjogger needs to be muted. He's posting up news that is sooo old and he's putting it on loads of different subs so muting subs isnt an option.
