Yup I'm not bothered just intrigued. It's when the big guns block and we cannot have our say about future changes that would bother me. I'm not too techie so tend to listen to others for how these things affect me or not.
I know @frot knee-jerked into powering down over it and THAT affects us all if people start running.

It's not Censorship (Honest)
Even my buddy @tekraze has not blocked me. (I think we are still in working things out mode...haha) But I don't think you have much to worry about. If you look here https://blurtblock.herokuapp.com/offgridlife. Seems like @offgridlife has gone wild with the mute button along with his other accounts @blurtbot and I think even @instablurt he is in control of but I'm not sure of that one. My girlfriend and I along with you and like half the platform have been muted by him. I find it to just be very revealing of what is going on in his head, and take zero offense. I highly doubt @megadrive or @jacobkadiakan....@rycharde, @saboin......the names that really matter...will be following in that manner.
Hi, I think he is under alot of stress from all that has happened. I think we should be sensitive to that, muting so many people looks like panic muting and representative of deeper emotional turmoil rather than a few strategic mutes. @Blurtbot is not affiliated with Blurt Core, @instablurt is but the mutes werent discussed with the team, instablurt doesnt post anyway so not sure why was necessary to mute.
Thank you for communicating this in such a direct and clear way.
mega moron - "We had to mute frot on blurtofficial because he was literally swearing and cursing on a community address post, he even asked to be muted over it."

Thanks, you are very manly...
Instablurt has me muted since my last conversation with offgridlife. The conversation was about one of HIS posts stating he wanted china to be nuked. All I did was questioning the ethics of that. And then the muting started.
I have given the instruction for all accounts to be unmuted from @instablurt
@offgridlife claims never to had said he wanted china to be nuked.
Well done. Smart move.
Ok. Cool beans.
Offgrid is lying or has forgotten. But ok
I don't care if someone is blocked or not, as I know, the whole thing
And we all know, how much shit people throw at @offgridlife that makes him mute everyone and I will just say, it is his right to mute people and live in peace. No one should be forced to watch the shit of people.
Helping one person or uncovering one scam doesn't give anyone license to insult or abuse people, it's just their psycho nature revealed
I would not bother to point out the names, as people are smart.
Also, you are lucky enough to be not in mute list, just for now/
You really are a peace maker. Thanks for your input.
Lol, i am not a peacemaker, i think they are a bunch of snowflakes who need to grow a set....
I was referring to tekraze. You are certainly no peace maker either though.... but instead you are 100% hilarious 99% of the time! Love your last monkey pox meme...lol Hope you choose to stay here, I really enjoy your commentary and sense of humor. You certainly make Blurt more fun and interesting, at least for me. :)
I know the feeling...lol
It's user based and not global, if a user don't want you to reply on his posts, he can mute you.
This does not mean, you will be blocked everywhere.
It's just ones ability to allow, who can interact with them.
Right so you can see exactly who doesn't want to talk to you. I see how that could be seen as passive aggressive and quite upsetting for people who are effectively being gagged. A complete block like on facebook would be more appropriate if people do not want to engage with certain people. That way they can't see each other at all and won't know they haven't been invited to the party if you see what I mean.
Posts are actually public and can not be hidden. So, that's why
Right. So if say the founders or devs all mute someone it will not affect their visibility to everyone else on their own posts? They just won't be able to talk publicly to the devs and founders on their public posts?
Yeah, because Dev's and team are humans as well, they can also mute someone as any other user will do.
But that does not mean a muted person will be blocked from blurt, its just from one's personal space.
I see that, so would it be ok for say, blurtofficial to mute anyone? General consensus would be no in that instant wouldn't it? This is the crux.
I'd be ok with that account muting someone if they were constantly putting up dick picks or something of that nature on each blurtofficial post. But not ok, if it was a matter of simply not liking the opinions of a prominent author and muting them.
probably the prominent author is a piece of shit, and I bet on it. Sometimes dick pics seem decent to me than those shitty people, that shit is the worst
That's a team account, so if the team agrees to mute someone, there are chances of getting them muted. But it will not be any single persons decision.
And I know these questions will keep going on, but the same answer
Mute is one right to block someone, which they want to, and it's okay if someone does. The muted person should also focus on better things, instead to cry that he got muted, and like he lost the purpose of life.
I believe there are many nice things to do, in the case, someone gets muted, then crying.
User mutes other user: no problem.
Management mutes a user on all its channels: a problem.
It would be as if, for example, your telephone provider cut off your communication channels with them because the person who is supposed to communicate with you (and you are an annoying, impatient or otherwise aggressive or demanding customer) "is only human". Of course, then you decide as management that you will get another colleague to take over the communication with the stressful customer. Or the colleague decides of his own accord to stop talking to this particular customer and delegate further (but communication maintenance is being provided for).
But the solution of muting a user in such a way that he or she cannot get in touch with the official channels is the worst and the most provocative. It not only causes such a muted user not to remain silent, but will seek other ways to spread his displeasure. Some user might never stop doing that unless he gets satisfaction.
A management that refuses to talk to its customers will harm itself in the long run. A blockchain crypto platform that blocks individual users from its channels will do the same (if it is not too big to fail).
No-one is crying about it. What would be the outcome of someone muting all the 'team'. This is not a silly question because I happen to know that groups were hijacked using the block function on another platform so it can be used nefariously.
Thanx for answering all my questions here, it's been illuminating. Particularly the last one.
