Special:Mute allows to mute yourself via Special:Mute/<your_username_here>.
That should not be possible given that it'll have no effect either.

@MarcoAurelio Thanks for reporting this. I agree it's a valid bug though I'll admit this was super handy for testing, :)
This is what I noticed and opened T245108. Disabling the link is almost as effective (by obscuring) but it would not hurt to disable the action altogether though.
I think this can tested only for email but would not be possible for ping since one cannot ping oneself in the first place.

[mediawiki/core@master] Disable muting oneself
One thing to keep in mind is that there is nothing preventing yourself from adding your own username to the email or echo blacklists via Special:Preferences. That was one of the reasons why we didn't enforce this rule IIRC. I do not disagree with hiding the link when it applies tho.
