Haven't muted anyone except three obvious spam accounts. I doubt I will ever use it against an actual user.

I don't think I'd really care about someone being a complete idiot by posting junk like that. I guess I've been in too many toxic online environments to still take these things seriously. There is no way anyone here could be talking to me as a person. It's just noise. But let me qualify that a bit. If I ever felt in any way threatened of it someone was actually obviously trying to disturb my conversations... Hell yeah I'd mute them.
