What if we made a social network where instead of liking, blocking and muting, you would “hush” and “boost” posts? Hushing would decrease visibility to your followers. Boosting would increase it. Who’s with me?

That’s effectively how it already works. Likes and comments boost the post in the algorithms. Adding a hush feature may sound like a good idea, but I think it would only serve the trolls and targeting opposing views with hush bots would make these services unusable.
