can someone translate this? I have no idea what that means (and I even use twitter, sometimes)
If I understand correctly, it means that blocking someone or muting them will demote their content in a similar way to downvoting on reddit or win, so that fewer people will see it even if they don't have that person blocked or muted.
A system like this would be alright if the ranking worked closer to block chaining: in other words it should only demote the content to people who follow the person doing mute/block. Then you could distribute that rank adjustment out to 2nd and 3rd removed peers, though with diminishing effects with each hop. You need a person-to-person reputation system. Not global.
And obviously if I follow someone, their content should always be at the top for me.
