Ughhhhh but what if I’m trying to mute my posts, not them lol

What’s the issue with them in particular?

Don't they have different levels -Ike friends and close friends (that old idea from Google+) if anyone here is old enough to remember that.

Anyway, put them in a special group and set your preferences to share with the other one by default. They're not blocked or unfriended and just think you don't post anymore.

Have you considered removing them as a follower?

I mean I could but they’d be able to tell. Either way I suppose they’ll find out

Depends on the channel, but you can adjust your settings on each platform and/or post to address this

I’d just block them. Why jump through a bunch of hoops for people you don’t care about?

Keep them guessing, wanting more, and wondering what they did wrong. It’s more fun.
