What, exactly, does the 'mute' button mute?

Doc B

Per the title, I have some discussions like the one pictured 'muted,' yet there they are, right at the top of the list.

So what does the mute button do, if it doesn't mute anything?

Can we have a working mute button so that muted threads don't show up in our list, @Jason Stone (Logos) ?

The mute button is working as intended, but it could use a bit of clarification.

Previously, if you were subscribed to receive email notifications from a post—either by following the forum category or by commenting—there wasn’t a way to stop notifications from just one specific thread. As of last week, you can now mute individual posts. This means you’ll no longer receive notifications from threads you choose to mute, giving you more control over what hits your inbox and notification bell.
