I agree with the OP. If we’re trying to sell tags as being powerful alternatives to categories, they need to be able to more fully mute.
What I’m observing is that mute on categories removes it from new and latest, but mute on tags only removes it from notifications?
This seems entirely insufficient for my users being able to exclude unwanted content as is being discussed here.
I don’t even think they should show up in Latest either, but both muted categories and tags seem to. I thought Latest was supposed to be the default work flow, but if so I feel like [tags] should support these negative filters.
Without this functionality, I don’t think I’ll be able to win the tag vs category war. Will have to setup all the categories so they can click into them and browse just what they want the old school way.
Open to all input and advice. Thanks!
