 We need the ability to subscribe to mute lists of other users 
 I have mixed feelings on this. I think this will help in the future when we have more users and spammers are running rampant. This type of feature helps to easily mute them. However, I fear that mute lists can be abused and could be used to effectively shadow ban people. I don't want to go down that route. 
 I don't think public mute list is a good idea.

Not even something nostr stands for, but also something that nostr tries to defend. 
 There will always be those who abuse any function... but it is voluntary, you should be able to subscribe and unsubscribe, if you have people like gods and you only subscribe to their lists because of who they are, it is very likely that what you say will happen... power corrupts 
 & people are simps, so it will happen but that's fine by me.

Id rather have a group of 5 people interact with than ingest the absurd weakness & stupidity of the herd. 
 Any better moderation ideas ??? 
 Sorry, I prefer to embrace the chaos and unpredictability of social media. Muting lists just sounds too organized for my taste. #rebelwithoutamute 
 I suppose...yet I see this as not really appropriate.

We should each choose our own friends. 
 Any user or bot can come and start filling your post with responses, spam and harassment and affect the experience of others and even yours, this goes beyond taking care of your list of followers and/or friends 
 You can already do this on Primal. Go to any user profile and select "Follow user's mute list" from the profile context menu. 

Note that we only support this from our web app. Coming to Primal mobile apps soon.  
 Top mutes is probably your next killer feature after harvesting everyone's identity to just use a LN wallet. 
 To start it's good, I'm sure that in the future this function will be improved even more 🫡

 Will #Primal have a full fledged iPadOS version? 🙏🏼
