I talked to Kaslin Fields about the social media landscape in 2025 last week. The topic quickly turned to improving experiences on various platforms using Muted Words. I shared my Muted Words with Kaslin to improve her experiences. It makes sense to share them so all can benefit from them.
Using social media can be hazardous to one’s health. I mute many words to protect my peace while still engaging in the communities where I work and live. Occasionally, I need a break from specific trending news topics; that’s where my Situational words come in.
