censorship-resistance doesn’t mean all of your notes should get seen by everyone at all times. you should be able to publish/share whatever you want and it should be visible to anyone who wants to see it (at the time they’d like to see it)
the tough part is clients need to try to infer when someone might want to see it
if someone follows me, presumably they want to see notes from me (they’re opting their attention into that). If I mute someone/something in a reply to my note that a consumer might otherwise see then a client is taking signal from me (via my mute action) that consumers who arrive at that note via my thread likely don’t want to see that note.
you should still be able to navigate to that muted note if you know that replier’s profile and want to browse notes they wrote. that’s how censorship-resistance works
