Can you block bots on Nostr?

I have a nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech imperators following me.

I see mute. I need to do a better job of keeping my Nostr network clean than I did my Twitter network.

Is mute the same thing?
