You can mute territories now either by visiting the territory or in the overflow ... for an item belonging to that territory.
Territory founders can enable moderation in their territories:
  • their territory gets a moderated badge
    • the badge includes a count of how many items they've outlawed
    • territory founders can turn moderation on and off, but the badge does not go away if they've ever outlawed an item
  • in the item overflow ... they can outlaw items with a click
  • anything outlawed by founders is still visible in Wild West Mode
  • anyone posting or commenting in the territory sees some help text letting them know it's moderated
In general moderation is a sledgehammer and we plan to introduce more economic tools to avoid needing to use it, but some people will want it anyway and we haven't made those economic tools yet.
We think we might've finally fixed PWA push notifications on iOS but tbd. 🤞

Wonder he still would’ve left if territories initially shipped with a mute/ subscribe feature

I’m under the impression he left for other reasons. Surely he understood everything is a work in progress here. He’s been here since the beginning.

Wouldn't it be nice if Apple didn't intentionally kneecap their browser's own functionality to prop up their centralized bullshit, while also limiting even further what other WebKit-based browsers can use through the few API's Apple allocates overall?
It says a lot when even Orion is kneecapped, considering it's the Safari made by technically competent and user-respecting developers.

yay!
could we have batch mute? Or how about the default mode is opt-out, then need to choose which one to join, but then how can we even get to know there are new territories in the first place haha... tricky indeed.

Let's see how this goes first. There are a variety of tradeoffs to any approach.
If territories were opt-in only, then we'd have to default people to some set of territories (which would biased as hell) or have none selected to start in which case you'd have an empty experience like on twitter.
While this might not be a forever approach, it is congruent with muting and unmuting stackers which is very nice I think.

but then how can we even get to know there are new territories in the first place haha... tricky indeed.
Maybe this could indeed be a bot that posts into ~meta when a new territory was detected

It could be, but we need territory discovery features in general.

Excellent. This is a good feature to improve user experience.

Mute is great but potentially superior thing here would be the ability to select or deselect (like subscribe or filter) the territories you want to see on your feed in the territory dropdown menu.
I see way too many subs I'm personally not interested, this would be a great improvement

Maybe there should be a mute all feature and then you can just enable the ones you want. Would make it easier, especially as territories grow.

I call it the Stack Overflow Effect:
Post something which has a slight error in it and a lot of people will correct you and in turn give you the right solution so they can feel superior.
Post something asking for help and no one will care to help you or give you the solution.
lol :)
