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):
This feature opens up the ability for self-moderation of one's own comment space, this addition will be crucial for businesses and families joining Blurt, both of which may require a santised discussion.
The change is at the frontend level and does not affect the blockchain, and includes the automatic enhancement of the mute feature to extend beyond the author to his audience as well. In this update, any user muted by the author will not have their comments visible in the comments thread of the author's blog post. This applies whether readers are logged in or not.
Under the post, it was further asked:
So if I Mute someone, they cannot Reply to my post, but can they Reply to those who leave comments? ...
Answer from tech/dev/management was:
I confirmed with tekraze and the muted party shouldn’t be able to comment on any comments on the author’s post, even comments from guests. They can however still do so via CLI or via other frontends, but their comments won’t show up on the frontends that support this feature.
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.👍
No, I'm rarely sarcastic nowadays. Things are going too serious for me. And for all the world in fact. As we see now the increase of what's called covid and I think the same measures will be done soon. So, I'm enjoying my life now before it's too late. After the famous operation we forget about all that, and now they seem wanting to bring everything back. Let's see how it goes.
That was my mistake, I assumed you were someone else. I've pretty much shut down all Ukrainian propaganda on hive, every day the posts get fewer and fewer, soon we might even witness the rare criticism of themselves, maybe.
Yeah, their propaganda is so powerful. It's for sure not for free. There are those who are paying for all that. And that's big money involved. I know how they are hungry for money and can do almost anything for it.
