I would hardly call the mute system an impairment of one's perspective of reality.
To put this in perspective, browsing through the forums, one will often see impersonators, posts littered with ill-informed opinions, or posts so obviously created to spark controversy and hate that, at points, they overwhelm what many would consider to be topics of actual discussion value.
I would not want to have to read that particular user's post regardless of the existence of a mute system. If the user in question repeatedly creates posts of such a nature conforming to the aforementioned commonalities in the paragraph above, I see no reason why I should waste my time reading their posts when they have not demonstrated that they can post anything I would want to read.
The mute system works, and combined with the revamped moderation system, offensive or inappropriate content on both a personal and global level is effectively dealt with.

No it does not work. People will still mute you for very insignificant reasons. People in this thread have muted me just because they don't agree with my opinion. I think that is absurd. I think that the mute system is basically a lazy way of moderation. This community used to be fun, and now what fun is it to post here anymore? If I can't get some opposing views when I make a thread then I can't really feel like I'm getting a realistic experience of interacting with people. I think that shit posters are going to be a part of this community no matter what, especially a community as young as this one. I think it's hurting this community big time that people can't post the way they want to post. When I post I consider how everyone will react. I don't ever make a thread because I want someone to get angry. I am a positive person personally and at the very least I want people to enjoy my threads and get a laugh out of them, but I also make threads that I believe will be thought provoking. When someone doesn't fully understand me and decides to mute me I feel personally offended because it's not my fault that a person doesn't understand me. It's definitely not my fault that a person chooses to mute me. What's even worse is when someone mutes me they will likely never unmute me, even if they have muted me for a very insignificant reason like disagreeing with me like people have done in this thread.
