"I dont want to see what others muted"... Not quite. Mutes are reports are different things. People can mute a lot of folks and that won't have any effect on your experience.
Reports are the more violent version of mutes, that affects lots of different parts of nostr. For instance, many relays use reports to delete content they do not want in their server. Reports are made for other people. Mutes/Blocks just for yourself.
