I think people should be able to see how many others are blocking, muting, ghosting them - and what topics they are engaging with are forcefully ignored. Knowing how many people are voluntarily there and how many people walk out are important signals to get a stronger sense of reality and approval.

I think showing who is muting who would lead to less individual freedom overall. People with less power would be afraid to mute people with more power. Seeing muted topics would be cool and model interest in topics instead of power dynamics.

Hard agree with this. The equivalent of someone talking our or showing frustration in IRL conversations. Those are the conversations worth reflecting on.

Interesting. Downvote is a micro version of that. "Muted count" or "blocked count" can be easily implemented if protocol natively supports mute and block (IIRC it doesn't).

Great idea I also feel like it should be much easier to block / unfollow than the old ux in fb twttr etc

This is a neat idea! But need to be thoughtful in how this gets presented / framed. Negative engagement *could* be a sign of disapproval (and so signaling it could nudge folks to healthier discourse) But — it also may just be a sign that people are self selecting topics that interest them, which isn’t always bad.
