people on this website will just break mutuals without softblocking as if you were gonna keep following them

follow on main = "I appreciate your content"
mutual on main = "ah I see you appreciate my content too! good taste!"
follow on priv = "fren?"
mutual on priv = "fren!"
letting someone follow onesidedly on priv = "I trust you, and we likely have other comm channels anyway"

idk for me mutuals are fren, priv/DM close fren
i do agree muting feels a little dishonest but the muted party usually doesn't find out/if they do it feels more understandable and less personal (it's *only* about the tweets)
unfollow feels like an eternally severed tie

idk if it's my 'tism but recently someone who had broken mutuals long ago followed again and it feels like they rose up from the dead, i still scratch my eyes to make sure it's real when we interact

I suppose I don't get as upset over this because this account is more of an art project anyway, you are much more personal
