Re: "Bubble v4.0: Muting, Tag Filters, Monthly Archive"

Shouldn't a post, a user has commented on, automatically be followed? Then a user could just click "unfollow" to mute it. This would achieve the same results like muting a post.

Follow and mute are mutually exclusive, you can only have one.

Also, "replied in discussion" can be disabled separately in notification settings.
