 Damus has “mute temporarily” already. 
Something I think would be great but we’ll probably have to wait for AI to get good:  topic-selective muting. 
Then, if you like notes on subject A from a person but can’t stand it when they talk about B, your feed can reflect it.

 Oh, heck, yeah. Hadn't even thought of that.

 Its an interesting idea. i think the human labels for navigating might get us pretty far - more so than AI embeddings. Using some ML and NLP could clean up that feed even more. With embeddings, scale is the biggest issue. They're expensive to hold and compute with.  Bet there are open source solutions to model off of though.

 I’m not very technical, by human labels do you mean hashtags?  They’re not used enough for this functionality

 And also 1983 and 1984, of course.

 There’s so much potential if AI can detect topics and tone well. It could be a powerful way to find accounts of interest to users, not just selectively muting accounts when they are not of interest.
