If you\u2019re sick of politics, sport and general world news then you\u2019re probably best off avoiding social media altogether.<\/p>\n

But if you want to have your cake\u00a0and<\/em> eat it,\u00a0there is another option to prevent unwanted items\u00a0filling up your precious timeline on Twitter. Try Mute<\/a>, a way to quickly mute 100 words from Twitter as chosen by the wisdom of people on the internet \u2014 aka crowdsourced.<\/p>\n

Twitter has long supported muting words, but Mute makes it easy to really get into the feature. Its Mute.life website<\/a> lists 100 keywords that have been added and then voted on by visitors to form a ranked list. By installing a bookmark in your (Google Chrome) browser, Mute can be used to automatically add those top 100 words into your muted word list for Twitter.<\/p>\n

To get started, visit Mute.life and follow the instructions on the left-side of the screen. You can mute individual words, but the process behind that is pretty cumbersome since it involves copy-paste and manual entry. A better approach may be uploading the full 100 and then removing those you words that you don\u2019t want to mute. Consider Mute the starting point.<\/p>\n

\u2728 Bookmarklet that auto adds Top 100 words to Muted Words list on Twitter, no idea how I got this to work, I’m in ? https:\/\/t.co\/gLN5AqesaG<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/hFK83p9Ba6<\/a><\/p>\n

I took Mute \u2014 which was created by nomadic developer Pieter Levels<\/a> \u2014\u00a0for a spin and it worked as advised. Within a few minutes I had 100 muted words set up.<\/p>\n

The only problem was the crowd \u2014 the main selling point \u2014 since many of the words I had muted weren\u2019t topics that I wanted to banish from my timeline altogether.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not going to be much left in my timeline if I mute all of these<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That said, I\u2019m not really the target audience here.\u00a0I can\u2019t remember muting any\/many keywords over the years.\u00a0But, if you\u2019re someone who is looking to make use of Twitter\u2019s mute feature, then this service gives you a jump start at doing that.<\/p>\n

Levels said on Product Hunt<\/a> that he is working to bring Mute to Facebook \u2014 that\u2019s certainly a feature that would appeal to more people, so we\u2019ll stay tuned on that.<\/p>\n
