If you want to incorporate your encrypted mute or follow lists into Brainstorm so the data gets worked into WoT scores, we’ll need to figure out how to give Brainstorm access to this data. Several options. First: build a version of Brainstorm that you run locally with access to your signer so it can unencrypt the lists. Second: unencrypt the lists outside brainstorm, feed those lists into brainstorm which either you’re running (ideally) or someone else is running for you (less ideal but let’s be real), hope the lists don’t get leaked.

I was thinking we could do something similar to what federated learning does: part of the calculation is done on the client, part in the provider. With machine learning, the neural net is created by the client first and then sent to the server such that the server cannot really understand the raw data anymore.
i think that teh user's own private list might provide some parameters to add to the calculation, it won't be significant. there is also semantics to placing the follows in that place as well that are contrary to the principle of a web.
