Mastodon users, you might want to check out the "timed mute" option, it's really useful! It lets you set a period (6 hours to 30 days) when an account is muted. It's handy for taking a break from someone.
To make a timed mute, you'll need to be using the website, web app or some third party apps. Mute as usual but before confirming the mute click "show options" and select a time period.
If you want to still get notifications from them, untick the "hide notifications" box.

@FediTips This is really useful to temporarily mute those who like to write long threads, so their posts don't flood your feed. Bookmark that first "1/264" post, then mute them for however long you think it'll take them to write their epic!
That way you can still read it, but in your own time.

️Yup!
It's also handy for cooling down discussions that are in danger of getting a bit too heated, where you still respect the people and want to see their posts in the long term, but want to step back from them for a short while.
If you've ever had to bite your tongue to stay silent in a discussion, timed mutes are a great tool for helping with this. By the time the mute expires, it's easier to view the discussion calmly. It reduces accidental arguments and toxicity.

@FediTips I use this.
May I ask: why not make the period user-defined? Just let me set an end date/time. I would love to be able to mute someone for, say, six months.

You would have to ask the developers! I'm not a coder so I don't know how easy it is to program and implement user-defined periods.
