@asteris I've had it for a while. Good for people I don't want to unfollow. If they tag me I still see it.
Perhaps Twitter's introduction of the mute function will turn this formerly vibrant global convo into a galaxy of oblivious oubliettes.

@SimonKnowz individually I understand the need, but overall, muting is eroding Twitter's function as a substrate of the 'global conscience'. -
@asteris I mean, you could argue the same for blocking. But some stuff is a necessary evil. -
@SimonKnowz I won't. Blocking is a necessity and carries a certain finality, thus gravitas. People will mute for trifles & forget to unmute.

@asteris people are in overwhelm feeling powerless and afraid duck & cover. I hear you -
@bebird I know. Just makes me wonder what exactly we curators are accomplishing, continually diminishing returns. Maybe it's the summer -

@elimaguire thank you, that includes you too, dear; it's mutual. I'm troubled by the systemic erosion of caring, but won't give up easily :) -
@asteris thanks :) We won't give up. We can't give up.
