/Sounds like "MOO" (as in "moon") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

To mute someone on social media without unfollowing them. The classic soft move: you are not ready to block them, but you also cannot handle seeing their posts. Popular across Latin America and Spain, muting someone is the digital equivalent of avoiding a person at a party while pretending everything is fine.

Examples

I muted him on Instagram but we are technically still friends.

Muting your ex is step one of the digital healing process.
