Muting long threads
Does anyone know how to mute a long thread that just fills your stream? I've tried @pluralistic 's suggestion of a filter, but it's not working (on his own long long long post, as it happens).
I read that if someone puts the first post as public then the following ones as unlisted, that would work. But the poster would have to do that.
Anyone? -

Anyone?One option is to use a timed mute, this is an option on the web interface and some third party apps.
On the web, mute the person but before you confirm the mute select "show options" and choose how long you mute them for.
(As someone else pointed out in your replies, the unlisted thing doesn't help if you're following the account).

@FediTips @elliek
But what if I don't want to mute a person. Only a post with the whole thread?
For example: It starts with a greeting leike the german word "Moin" and I was polite and send a "Moin" back. After that the thread turned into a discussion obout the worldformular and the people throwing with hashtags and it gets longer and longer until everything crashes and the world implodes *justkidding* The word will not implode cause it is not hollow inside.
Am I right? -

Am I right?If you're mentioned in a thread, you can mute that thread by going to one of your notifications about that thread, clicking ⋯ and then "Mute conversation".
