Makes sense haha.
I've noticed that different clients store mutes I different places. Do you pull any mute lists that are commonly used or just specific kinds? For me, a mute carries more weight than a follow.

I use kind 3 for follows and kind 10000 for mutes. Would be simple to cast a wider net though.
I agree: mutes count for more. The default params give a follow a weight of 0.03, as compared to a mute which I give a weight of 0.50. You can go to settings, change those params, recalculate and see the changes.
I picked those defaults after just trying a lot of different params and seeing which seemed to be the most useful in terms of stratification of the results.
