Guides to a quieter X

Straight answers to the things X makes hard, free options first. Where Muffle helps, the guide says so and says what it costs.

Each guide answers one question people ask about X, the way you would explain it to a friend: what X itself can do, where its settings stop, and what the other tools out there are good at. Most of the answers need nothing installed.

They are written and kept up to date by the person who builds Muffle, so when X moves a setting, the guide changes too. Pick the one closest to what you are trying to do.

How to see who unfollowed you on X (Twitter)X never tells you when someone unfollows. Four ways to find out, from free and slow to automatic, and what each one cannot tell you. How to turn off the X (Twitter) feed and keep postingEvery way to stop scrolling the X timeline, compared: X's own settings, Lists, site blockers and browser extensions, with what each one breaks. How to hide politics on X (Twitter)Mute only checks the words in a post, so political accounts keep getting through. The free settings that help, and the extensions that hide people by bio. How to export your X (Twitter) bookmarksX's archive leaves bookmarks out. Four ways to get them out anyway, as links, JSON or a synced library, and what each one keeps when a post is deleted.

Install it free.

Turning off the feed, a daily time limit and seeing who doesn't follow you back are free forever, with no account and no card. The rest is $19 a year at launch, renews yearly and can be cancelled any time. Most people buy it from inside the extension once they have seen it work.
