If you go to my whales shares comment section you'll catch a lot of double-u in my exchange with a megawhale vacuum @freedomexists. I've seemingly always despised arrogance and lies and fabrication, and more than anything, the stupidity of it, so if the trolls are running amok, I'll consume them. Speaking of some of the * IQ overly exaggerations * around here who reads as every other thought is trailing off, sometimes, every other word, is it true that if I were to mute someone, they couldn't vote for my comments for example? the thewalkingexaggeration seems to think so, which would be classic response, they can't even respond with a mocking vote!
BTW Thank you for entrusting me to protect the innocence from the stupid tyranny. May God have mercy on them because I'm all out of bubble gum.
The way the new mute is supposed to work (there is a glitch in it) is if you mute someone they aren't supposed to be able to comment on your posts or comments. They can still see your posts and comments and vote for them however.
There was a meltdown from some of the truther crowd calling that censorship. I disagreed and laid out why here.

It garnered a response post as you can imagine. It also was supported by the same anti foundation whales who were rewarding the 07/07 lie narrative.
The thanks are mine. :)
I'm in agreement with it not being censorship btw, takes a certain kind of arrogant entitlement to suggest that because people don't want certain people to respond, they are censoring them instead of having boundaries and some actual ownership over their little corner. The malicious imbeciles can't appreciate boundaries or ownership in that sense, they think its depriving them of some intrinsic right to come into your home and lay a steamy one right on your pantry.
Exactly. I do find it interesting how some who are doing this (complaining about not being able to take that steamy) are being encouraged by more powerful accounts. It comes across to me they are being directed like puppets to keep the FUD going for reasons that probably have little to do with the current (in this case muting) complaining/raging.
Interestingly many of those who I've watched being directed write a lot with a tone of disgust on the left on how easily manipulable they are. So easy to see in others flaws that in ourselves we are blind to. At times it makes me sad at how so many who are so close to seeing veer off and don't consider that they aren't some super human immune to this tendency that is built (or trained) into us.
Cognitive dissonance is a bitch. Even knowing this flaw about myself for much of my life I still catch myself much more than I like in flawed position of thought (trance).
If more folks would understand this flaw they see in others is likely running just as rampant in themselves they likely would become less arrogant and have more compassion for others who are trapped by the same dynamics, just different paint covering the trap.
It's a pleasure watching you expose these areas, although it reinforces to myself as spectator how often the response is to defend the program vigorously regardless of the cost instead of examining the mechanism one is using to understand why one is using it.
Shame so many are frightened by the idea that we might be swimming in a pool of ignorance and what we might take as being super smart is really only a small flotation device in this immense pool.
They say there should be a balance between the heart and brain, I speak from my gut and don't consider my heart, only my brain. I think I just considered my heart for the first time, I think..
So it's not fully implemented then and it doesn't stop people from voting, in effect it doesn't do anything, do they still see you then?
Maybe one can put it to the test. Gathering a group which purposefully tests it out for a period of time; if one wants to bother.
I have understood that when you mute a user, not only can you not see his comments under your postings but also this user cannot interact with those who comment on your blog site. I am not even sure, if this can be technically achieved and so I asked where the news were spread in this way (https://blurt.blog/blurt/@blurtofficial/development-update-new-ui-features):
Under the post, it was further asked:
Answer from tech/dev/management was:
Whatever CLI means.
I still am on the blurt.blog frontend (maybe an information visitors of my blog should receive).
So its only cosmetic, which isn't standard and therefore its meaningless for "creating safe spaces". Thank you for digging this up.
You're welcome.
I'm glad you're here and like me don't consider muting someone as a censorship. Why I have to hear from a troll if it's a clear troll. Or why my audience have to see his/her shit under my content I worked on so hard. I'm muting many trolls here, and you know what, that saves a lot of my time. ☺ Thanks as well for standing with Russia. I really appreciate that !
Why? Lolol!
If why I'm glad. So, because you will share here also things about Russia and Russians. So, more people will learn about the propaganda of the west and what they are doing.
I wasn't sure if you were sarcastic or not.👍
They can't see you. It's solely on the front end (the ones that adopt it) and there is a glitch in it that still allows one to reply to comments on those posts. I commented for example on a post by Drutter who has me muted from the Blurt blog front end. I did notice dependent on how one goes to the blog the comment by the muted person may still be visible or not visible except to the person who muted you.
