@helge This stuff can be done client-side.
That's why #Pachli allows users to block / hide-behind-a-warning notifications and DMs from accounts you don't follow, or are too new (https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/02/28/2.10.0-release.html#anti-harassment-controls-for-conversations-private-mentions).
An API change (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33066) would make this easier, but I think people fall into the trap of thinking this all has to be done server-side too often.
It's good to see people are working on this stuff.👍👍👍

Just out of curiosity does mastodon provide the information if a remote server has open registrations or not in an API call? If yes, implementing what I suggested, should be unproblematic on a Mastodon Client level.
Regarding "client-side" vs "server-side". I can make an argument that all these features must be on the server side. Basically, if not, people that view your profile on your server will still see trash (even if you don't). Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect work. It's more important to get these features implemented than have a good architecture.
