if you don't want to see posts attached to a particular tag, you can now muffle those posts โ€” hide them behind a warning until you click "show post". you can set tags to muffle in your user settings.

we said we were going to take this week off, but jess finished this change on friday and we didn't want to release it over a holiday weekend, so we decided to push it out to this week when at least we'd be available during normal business hours if something went wrong. seems to be working fine, though, so we'll see you next week!

oh heck yeah, that's a rad surprise, been waiting for this feature!!
btw is there a specific reason for the 'muffle' term over stuff like 'filter' or 'mute'? it's a cute-lookin' word, but im curious about the thinkin' behind it!

since we use "silence" for "don't show me this at all", we wanted to have a word in between that and not doing anything -- and we were already using "filter" as the word for "do something to how a tag/content warning is displayed, not otherwise specified". @jkap pointed out that twitterrific calls a similar behavior "muffling" and so we kinda just rolled with that one.
