He doesn't actually follow me either, so I don't see the point.

You can still see people when they are reposted, perhaps that was the intent. To stop seeing reposts?
Twitter has long solved the issue of seeing less content without muting or unfollowing people by “show me less” but we don’t have such things. I’ve said it a million times I have nothing against anyone here, I’m just trying to limit what I see so I can see more of other stuff I do want to see. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to see ANY posts from that person, but there’s no way to distinguish content filtering here without mute words. I use Damus regularly on mobile and there’s no mute word or list here but this is a feature on Snort which I use extensively.
If some social graph thing is doing something by limiting your reach based on mutes, sorry. I will do what you’d like but this is an issue to take up with those developers. As a user I shouldn’t have to think about how my personal curation actions are going to impact others.
