Extension summary

Note that Twitter limits the rate of muting to (on average) 1 account per 5 seconds, so this extension is slow (but automated).

This is a fork of the Twitter Block Chain extension (https://github.com/satsukitv/twitter-block-chain) that mutes instead of blocks.

The idea is to mitigate dog-piling harassment on Twitter by using a silent response (muting) rather than a visible response (blocking).

There is also a feature to convert all of your previous blocks to mutes. Navigate to your 'Blocked Accounts' page and run Block->Mute Chain.

User reviews

It seems not working at all. All I got is "Navigate to a twitter following or followers page" alert even on my https://twitter.com/tomekson/followers or https://twitter.com/tomekson/following pages, so... I've logged off and on again, restarted browser, but the extension simply does nothing..

Repeatedly says 'Navigate to a twitter following/followers page' when I try to run it even though I'm already on one, even after refreshing page. So basically useless. Shame - looked so promising
