Feature request: Muffle follows

[StevenBlack]

Some Twitter third-party apps (notably Twitterriffic) have a really nice muffle feature.

This is very useful to dial-back accounts that have low signal-to-noise, but remain valuable in some circumstances, or remain accessible when you're in a mode to sift through the chaff.

Here's an example of a Twitterriffic muffle on the hairy arrogant a*hole (™️) whom I follow for very occasional good content, which is barely a 10% proposition recently. So he's muffled.

What's the exact formula for "muffle": mute 9 notes, show 1 note?

Hi @alltheseas thank you for your reply.

Nothing complicated, no formula. A muted account always just shows a 1-liner. See the Nassim Taleb mute in the image above ⬆️.

When Twitterrific was a thing, I would occasionally peek-in to see if Taleb was saying something valuable (sometimes true) as opposed to exhibiting as an arrogant has-been (the most common case). I could do that without an unfollow, and without polluting my timeline with his BS.
