[ FEED CONTROL ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
A platform action that hides someone's content from your feed without unfollowing, blocking, or notifying them, a quieter and less confrontational form of visibility control than blocking.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I muted him instead of unfollowing, don't want to see his posts but don't want the drama either."
LORE & ORIGIN
Became a standard Twitter and later cross-platform feature by the early 2010s, giving users a way to reduce unwanted content exposure without the social finality or visible confrontation of unfollowing or blocking.
