I finally synced the block list and muted word list between my main and alt accounts on twitter, and I feel so relieved 😅. You might be wondering how I did it?
At the moment, it's a completely non-automated process because API costs money. I downloaded the archived data through X, extracted the block list and mute list from block.js and mute.js using GPT4 code analysis, and then copied and pasted the curl commands into a for loop for all the darn accounts with userid as a variable. I even took a scrolling screenshot of muted words, converted it into a list using GPT4-V, and muted those through a bash script with cookie tokens.
You can sense my desperation from this. I was tired of seeing the same nonsense across multiple accounts for over a year, and I just had to do something about it.

There are websites you can do it from, but I wanted an option to not leave the website, and hence this comment from github helped. Paste it into console and voila.
id = JSON.parse(
document.evaluate(

document.lastChild,
null,
XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext().textContent
