Why? I'm not trying to be inflammatory but there's no flowery way to ask if this is due to some ego thing where you need to make sure you're being listened to and heard by some fuckwit.
If you have something to say, say it. Needing to know if the recipient heard it is silly, especially in online public forums where 99.99% of online discourse isn't a discussion at all and is instead a performance for onlookers. Who cares if they don't hear it and don't respond?
If you mute somebody and they know it then they'll trash you even more knowing that you'll never correct their lies, so it actually encourages worse behavior.
At least I should know if I am muted

Don't worry, the people who use Twitter are absolutely the kind to tell you they muted you.
