Anti-harassment controls

[nikclayton]

This is the high level issue to track the work to implement the anti-harassment controls described in https://pachli.app/pachli/2024/08/02/harassment-controls.html

Notes and rough milestones follow. More specific issues will be created from these as appropriate.

• All account filtering features ignore:
  • Accounts you already follow
  • Accounts on the local server with roles (owner, admin, etc) to ensure server admin messages are not blocked
  • The account (if present) in the server's contact information (Instance - Mastodon documentation)

Possible blocklist sources

• https://gui.fediseer.com/
