      If you mute someone, you don’t see their posts. They don’t get any notification that you have muted them. It’s the same as blocking but they don’t know they are blocked.

      what’s the difference between block and mute? Block just lets them not see your feed and notifies them of this, but mute just hides anything they post from you?

        Muting people that harass you instead of blocking them enable them to just spam libel about you onto your posts, which can have other effects. At least with blocking, they can’t just do it on your actual posts.
