Social users lack precise control over what they see and mute
Bluesky users want to tune their feeds and interactions more precisely than broad mute or block controls allow. Requests include muting a topic only from a particular person, applying temporary mutes, and avoiding certain kinds of posts without unfollowing or blocking someone. Other users also want more control over filtered replies and the context they lose when taking moderation actions.
For bluesky users seeking finer-grained feed and moderation controls. Mentioned from Nov 2023 to Dec 2025 on Bluesky.

I wish there was a way to mute things when they're said by specific people. Like I don't want to unfollow the person completely but just do not care about something they talk about repeatedly and also I don't really want to eliminate the topic should anyone else mention it more sparingly
I wish there was a thing on here where you could like, put a temporary mute on someone, like a time out. Would be good for stuff like when people live post about some gaming event I don't care about
