- Mute - prevents you from seeing their content
- Block - mutes the gabber, removes them from following you and prevents them from seeing your content
- Report to Gab - notifies gab moderators
Moderation tools:
Gab believes that gabbers are responsible adults providing mute or block options to manage your own feed. Some gabbers enjoy the free flow of free speech, others may find free speech to be raw and offensive. Using the mute, block or unfollow options can change your gab experience.
Each gabber can set their own content preferences with mute / block filters. The filter provides a method to further refine content that you view by selecting certain words/phrases to filter out. You may review the gab accounts you've previously muted/blocked in your Menu. You may also reverse any mute or block you've previously made.
Great video to show how to filter links. You can do the same with specific words. It is CaSe and Sym8ol specific, so each variation should be added.

Outside agitators occasionally post awful threats etc. in violation of our TOS, a phenomenon known as "fedposting."
