You can optionally mute someone on Mastodon without hiding their DMs or mentions.
If you're using the website or web app or some mobile apps, the muting process includes an option that says "Allow notifications". If you allow notifications, DMs and mentions will work as normal.
This is useful if you want to stay in touch with someone but you don't want to see their posts in your timeline.
(Also, whatever kind of mute you use, they will not be aware you are muting them.)
