If you don't want your opinions out there, don't put them out there. If you want them limited, then make the entire account limited and invisible to everyone except those that you explicitly whitelist.
If you don't want replies, just hide them from the mute-r. But let the mute-ee reply and show them right along next to the other publicly visible replies.
Fuck this noise of "I want to be a public figure and make public statements but I don't want anyone to be able to respond in a way that I don't like."
I agree completely. If you want to post opinions in a public forum, it should be just that. I'm open to nation specific forums, but aside from that any further delineation is largely pointless.
X needs to offer block and mute, like Gab does. Block means they can't see or reply, mute means they just cant reply.
Neither should be offered.
