If you had access to twitter's data, what would you, 1. Expect distributions of mutes and blocks to look like? 2. Expect in a healthy, well-designed information env? 3. Do you think they are the same thing?
Point #1 is really why I'm trying to design what I'm building to use blocks and mutes with stochastic expiration. I think the ability for networks to heal and remain dynamic is important. (I get a lot of pushback on that though)

Yeah, people don't like being told by a computer that they were wrong when they see the person they blocked show up again I think.

Yes. Also comes off as very "techbro-presenting" even though there's a lot of evidence that suggests blocklists are a useful attack vector.

"Self-healing social networks" is a very cool phrase though
