mastodon work ideas
- ability to cw a boost (not original ofc)
- ability to perma-cw remote instances (similar to domain blocking)
- differentiate between "default user domain blocks" and "instance-level domain blocks" to allow users to unblock certain domains themselves if they want
- the ability to automatically post some random variation of "awoo" with the click of a button >_>

@vahnj interestingly 3 was proposed quite some time ago by the librists and rejected

@bea err, that's odd
i can see "this may never get worked on because we have too high priority on other things" cuz it's kind of a nice-to-have but
it'd be nice to at least acknowledge that such a thing would be useful

@vahnj i suspect there are some things that might make it tricky but i guess you know the blocking code better than i do!

@bea to be frank it's not that hard
1. create an additional field in the blocklist table to indicate "user_default"
2. the instance-level blocking mechanism selects from the list where "user_default" is false
3. every time a new user is created on the local instance, copy the list of "user_default" blocks into the UserDomainBlock model for their account
voila!
there's gonna be some more complications in there but that's the gist of it

@bea for instance: a rake task should be integrated to support migrating a domain-level block to/from users, there's a UI component that needs to be managed, some work needs to be done to avoid overriding if someone's managed the domain block themselves, etc
