Excellent suggestions. I'm open to all kinds of feedback on how mutes should work. It'll be useful to consider before I take a pass at implementing it.

The mute feature could work in these ways:

shrunk to 1 line, with a minimal button to display all muted content (it's kind of annoying on slashdot and reddit to click "show this comment" a number of times)

completely gone altogether, like blocking people with a killfile on Usenet would do

Feature request: Zap to reduce visibility of a post/er

Keep up the great work!
