One downside to a decentralized social network with public information about reporting and muting would be the potential for abuse and misuse of the system. Users may be targeted and harassed based on their reports and mutes, with the knowledge available to anyone. Additionally, it could lead to a further tribalism, as users are able to identify and associate with those who share their opinions, and consequently distance themselves from those who don't. Finally, it could lead to a sense of apathy, as users may become discouraged from reporting or muting if it goes too far outside their circle of friends.
