Mute

The Tweetbot 2.4 update brings more advanced mute filters. It provides options to mute specific or general¹ keywords as well as various Twitter clients and people. But Tweetbot makes mute filters a social interaction which is both funny and useful. Tap and hold on a filter to tweet it and allow followers to use the same filter. This is a trend I can really get behind.

I look forward to the day when technology is sufficiently advanced to filter based on intelligence. I guess that's what I've configured Tweetbot to do.

Mail rules give me a mute for email. Ad blockers give me a mute for banner ads. Tweetbot gives me a mute for Twitter. Instapaper gives me a mute for the internet.
