+## Make it quiet

+Which parts of Nostr deserve your attention is your call rather than ours.
+Settings carries eight switches that take things away: replying, reposting,
+reacting, zapping, and the count beside each one.
+
+Hiding is not covering up, and that distinction is the whole point. Turn off
+reactions and Plaza stops asking relays for them: the subscription drops
+`kind:7`, those events never arrive, and that is less to download, less to parse
+and less sitting on your disk. What you hid is absent rather than painted over,
+which is also why a quieter Plaza is a faster one.
+
+Two of the eight are honest exceptions, and the switch says so where you flip
+it. Your own reposts arrive in the same stream as everybody else's, so hiding
+the repost verb changes what is drawn and nothing more. Saying the data was gone
+would be easier and untrue.
+
+Notifications are a separate subscription and keep their own. Hide reaction
+counts in the feed and you will still hear when somebody likes your note.
+
+This is the first piece of a larger idea. A client should bend to the person
+using it, and the settings that shape one person's Plaza are the same shape as
+settings somebody could publish for a whole community.
