Mute a user

I want to stop seeing a user’s content without blocking them. Mute user brandpromos_daily so their videos and comments no longer appear in my feed or notifications, but allow them to still view my public posts and follow me.

Before I mute this frequent promoter, make the trade-offs obvious: show the most recent five promotional comments and videos, indicate whether muting will hide their comments only or also suppress algorithmic recommendations, and flag if they are a paid partner so we don’t accidentally mute campaign metrics.

brandpromos_daily posts twice daily and shows in my For You page; I want them silenced without severing ties because they’re a potential partner. I am the creator, the other party is the promoter, and I’m unsure if mute hides their metrics from me or the wider platform. Should I mute now, or archive the posts and message them first to preserve the relationship?

I keep closing doors with one-click blocks when I could have muted and preserved relationships; later I realize I lost collaboration opportunities. What simple habit change will stop reflexive blocking and keep partner options available while protecting my mental space?
