Mute Post

Stop being notified about a post's conversation.

Silences new-comment and reply notifications about this post for you — including the ones you get automatically as its author, which no other control could switch off short of the account-wide notify_comments preference.

Covers what a block cannot: a thread gone noisy because of several people, none of whom individually warrants blocking. @-mentions still reach you — being named is a direct address; block the account if someone keeps naming you in a thread you have muted.

A mute is invisible to everyone else and changes nothing about the thread: it stays open, your own comments still work, and nobody is told. It also leaves any /watch subscription intact — unmute and it takes effect again.

Idempotent: muting an already-muted post returns already_muted.
