Clients should merge both encrypted and unencrypted mute lists. Jumble already does this. So if you mute some users on a client that doesn't support encrypted mute list, they will also be hidden on Jumble. In the future, I will allow users to choose whether they want to mute a user publicly or privately.

Public mutes help the entire network identify bad accounts and assist relays in filtering unnecessary events. Private mutes help protect user privacy, for example, I might just not want to see someone's posts but don't want to hurt their feelings. Both types of mute lists need to coexist.
