Doesn’t mute allow them to see your posts still?

Because maybe you don’t want someone to see your posts on their feed?

Because maybe victims don't want their harassers seeing or interacting with their tweets at all????????????

Why does it matter if a harasser sees your tweets? How can they interact with the tweets when muted?

How can they interact with the tweets when muted?

By replying, quoting and retweeting. However, if they're blocked, they can't do that without putting extra effort (such as making an alt account).

Why does it matter if a harasser sees your tweets?

Are you being serious or are you really just that obtuse? It's so damn painfully obvious you've never been seriously harassed on social media.
