I guess you're right. Everything between "abusive assholes" and "despite bot-spam ads, junk mail etc" is a spectrum without a clear line to separate.

I just dislike the idea of muting someone due to disagreement or cognitive dissonance.

It's less "disagreeing" and more "people being abusive assholes" but if you can wade through that and want to keep coming back, more power to you.

How's muting going so far?

I haven't muted anything so far. Seeing all kinds of opinions is valuable.

I've done so on all my internet history (despite bot-spam ads, junk mail etc ofc). People who need to mute something because they can't handle disagreeing strike me as weak and pathetic.
