Why isn't the mute function enough?
I actually never understood why the block function existed, it clearly told the account you blocked that you have blocked them, prompting them to create an alt.
Mute is like shadowban, you won't ever see them and they believe that you can see them.
Interact how? You will never see anything they do.
Everyone says muted accounts can "interact" with ones tweets but no one can inform me in what way.
How can muted accounts make so that you see what their doing?
Doesn’t mute allow them to see your posts still?
Why does that matter at all?
Because maybe you don’t want someone to see your posts on their feed?
Then don't put it up on the internet
Why does it matter if a harasser sees your tweets? How can they interact with the tweets when muted?
