Bozobits should be called bozogigabytes. They’re rarely 1-bit decisions. We’re still not used to an exit >> voice defaults, so exits are still far more fraught than they need to be. We bring unnecessary war-refugee level exit drama to twitter mutes

I mean we don’t live in medieval villages where you kinda have to get along with the same few hundred people for a lifetime On the flip side (heh!) you should be encouraging weakly attached people to flip bozobits on you and move on.

this seems similar to "dismissive-avoidant attachment style", very adaptive for internet interactions although sometimes less so for offline ones.

Yeah, it’s not just rational, it’s actually the compassionate and humane attachment style online, since too many people react inappropriately to the superficial intimacy of social media and adopt styles that make sense with family/close friends.

Like you, I get stressed about muting. So, in my twitter client (I've rolled my own), I can downgrade an account, which causes the opacity of tweets by that account to reduce by 20%. 5 downgrades and you get unfollowed/muted. (Any like/retweet brings you back to 100%.)

I no longer get stressed about it, it’s gotten much easier with practice
