Interesting about the mute, I am not sure how many I have muted, but it can't be many. Is there a place to check?

I just use steemworld, you can copy and then past the list into a spreadsheet and get an auto count, or just a quick guesstimate by how many pages of people you have muted on steemworld. Looks like you have ten muted, on steemworld click the Followers tab button, then where it says Mode: {default is New (last 7 days)], click the drop down arrow, and then the last entry is Ignored (muted)
