Interesting way of doings things.

I do agree that having a mute button is helpful, especially when you go to the trending page and you want to see only a certain type of articles. However, I believe that it would be even better if we would have a better way of sorting articles that will help us see only the type of articles we want.

Muting other people it's a nice feature, but who knows, maybe they will publish something interesting at some point in the future, something we would like, and we can't see it because we muted them.

I still didn't mute anyone yet, and I'm not sure if I will do it soon, but I hope they add a better way to sort things and see only the things you're interested in.

Great post and best of luck!
