It sounds more like this is more to do with personal tastes than general principles?
I run a large account and I'm happier with a human-based system. I don't want an algo stripping away replies that I might want to see. I would prefer to be deciding on mutes/blocks myself.
But you prefer to have such decisions taken by an algorithm, even if there's a risk it blocks stuff you might want to see.
Is this a fair summary?
