The company hopes that Libra "could become the foundation for a new financial system not controlled by today’s power brokers on Wall Street or central banks." But controlled by Silicon Valley…

I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
One reason I wouldn't use a mute button is bc it's interesting to see what topics I agree with people on. eg even agree with LR about Ross Ulbricht. 🤷♀️
You can't censor onchain, without majority of miners cooperating to censor.
True, but memo is the conjunction of two networks: blockchain and humanity. "Muting/Blocking" on *EITHER* side (via miners or popular opinion) endangers this intersection's capacity.
if you have the personal choice to mute people how do you end up at "g-town"? by having your attention on memo now you're choosing to 'mute' the rest of the internet.
I don't have much of an issue with any individual memo client allowing this functionality, but once these blocks/ignores are on-chain they become indicators that can be abused.
but this (afaik) would be implemented by each individual not by a centralized service.
It would only be implemented by services (since the post on-chain cannot be "muted"). True, users would be the ones "blocking/muting" others, but it's only small step to a g-line.
