@manton I don’t know what @simonwoods might have been thinking about (and never used Twitter, so I have no idea what tools comparison he’s trying to make :-) ), but my concern is around the ability to scale—and it’s more of a worry than a problem now, of course—human moderation is always going to be at a disadvantage to automated or semi-automated discovery tools that can be harnessed by attackers, and you can’t spin up another Jean like you can a new server to handle the load :-)

That said, I did notice the other day that muted users are still visible in Discover when signed in.

And, just a question of curiosity: has Safe Replies filtered anything yet? (I don’t know that there’s necessarily been anything to catch, so it exists like a magical firewall that provides a lot of protection that we can’t see happening.)
