Good that you aren't. As you mention, others will.

Batch muting will occur regardless. It can't be stopped. The key fight against it is being able to see it occurring. To expose + address.

The second we can't see it (private), we're hooped. 

I just put a post up, feel free to attack it. This definitely isn't a client-side or Damus issue, so not directed at you. Seems like a protocol-wide issue.
