Mute
Significado: To silently hide someone's posts from your feed without unfollowing or blocking them.
Muting is the passive-aggressive middle ground between tolerating and blocking someone. They don't know you've muted them — you're still technically following them, but their posts disappear from your feed. It's the polite way to handle annoying coworkers, extended family members, or friends who post too much. 'I didn't unfollow you, I muted you' is the quiet truth of many online relationships.
Ejemplos
- I muted him because he posts twenty times a day and it floods my feed. 他一天发二十条动态刷屏,我就把他设成免打扰了。Lo silencié porque publica veinte veces al día e inunda mi feed.彼が1日に20回も投稿してフィードが埋まるからミュートした。그가 하루에 스무 번씩 게시물을 올려서 피드가 도배되길래 뮤트했다.
- She muted the group chat because it was blowing up her phone. 群聊消息狂轰滥炸,她直接把群设成免打扰了。Ella silenció el chat de grupo porque le estaba reventando el móvil de notificaciones.グループチャットが通知の嵐だったから彼女はミュートした。단체 채팅 알림이 폭탄처럼 울려서 그녀는 뮤트했다.
- I didn't want to cause drama by unfollowing, so I just muted her instead. 我不想因为取关而引起风波,所以就悄悄把她设成免打扰了。No quería crear drama dejando de seguirla, así que simplemente la silencié.フォロー解除してドラマを起こしたくなかったから、代わりにミュートした。팔로우 해제해서 분란을 일으키고 싶지 않아서 그냥 뮤트했다.

✗ Incorrecto
- Telling someone you muted them defeats the purpose — the whole point of muting is that they don't know告诉别人你把他们设成免打扰就失去意义了——免打扰的重点就是对方不知道Decirle a alguien que lo has silenciado anula el propósito; la gracia de silenciar es precisamente que no se enteren.ミュートしたことを本人に伝えたら意味がない——ミュートのポイントは相手が気づかないこと뮤트했다고 상대방에게 말하면 의미가 없다 — 뮤트의 핵심은 상대방이 모른다는 것이다
