The Mute feature: A user's freedom tool.
What is muting on Nostr?
Different clients will refer to this as muting or blocking, but the end result is the same. It's a personal content filter, allowing the user to regain their personal freedoms. If you don't want to see a user or a user's content, you can mute or block them. It's highly effective. The best part? The freedoms of the person that was muted or blocked are not impacted at all! They have the freedom and ability to continue to post, reply, and carry on just as they previously were doing. Win/win. This is the freedom to communicate that Nostr empowers us with.
Enjoy!
