## Definitions

### `chat.yakka.mute`

**Type**: `record`

Something the viewer does not want to hear from — a space, a server, or a person. Personal state in the viewer's own settings space (ADR 0017). A mute is a presentation preference, never access control: it hides, and hiding is not gating (Law 1).

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `subject` | `string` | Yes | What is muted: a space AT-URI, a server DID, or an account DID. Also the record key, so muting twice is idempotent. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
| `expiresAt` | `string` (datetime) | No | When the mute lapses. Absent means indefinite. |
