Man I love that someone decided that muting people for less than a day was just not important and now I can't do it anymore and my mental health is just worse when using this site

@eniko ... I have to ask .. I am missing something ( important ? ) here .. WHY you need so much this "muting for less than 1 day ?" .. What's going on ? And what effect actually does muting someone "for less than a day" ? Are you blasted by people writing you messages "every 5 minutes with crap" ? Why ? "Normally" if someone is an arse you mute it forever or much longer ? Something unusual is going on here ?

@gilesgoat Muting isn't just for people being assholes. I just muted someone I follow for a couple hours because they were writing a long thread about a topic I didn't want to see. But in a couple hours they'll likely be done, and I'll be able to see their future posts.

@eladnarra So what actually "mute" does ? It's like "don't show me all posts from 1 PM to 5 PM" but if at 5.30 PM I go to see the posts I'll never be able to see what happened between 1PM to 5PM ?

@eladnarra @gilesgoat Yes! I do that too. Sometimes I see someone perfectly nice pose a question that I know will spark a chatty session among others, and I'm glad to be able to just mute them or the topic for a few hours and not be distracted by it.

Or I might be tempted to respond to something, and know it's a bad idea to even try, so I mute that for a few hours so the topic will be long lost in my stream by the time I next see them.

@eladnarra @gilesgoat ☝️ Twitter used to have the option to mute specific threads or conversations, which would also be useful on here...

@sofiav @eladnarra

I'll try ..

Eu nao conheco essa opcao por que eu nunca estivo no Twitter 🙂

I am trying to learn Portuguese cause a possible trip to Brasil ( again ).

I am still am quite confused with "essa" "esta" and certain tenses ( estivo ou estavo ? ).

@sofiav @eladnarra Ah I wasn't sure .. just ONE question for you then .. "Caprichoso ou Garantido ? Nos suportamos o time de Caprichoso !"

@gilesgoat @eladnarra lmao that's from a song I think? I don't remember the context at all

@sofiav @eladnarra

Caprichoso, o boi preto de Parintis, a estrela azul de festival de Boi Bumba, a alma de folklore e cultura da floresta Amazonica 🥰

We have been at the Boi Bumba festival many years ago in Parintins .. We are still dreaming !

@gilesgoat @eladnarra ohhhh, that's so cool! I've never been to a Boi Bumba festival--they're not very common here in the Southeast
