Moderation controls about cabal-cli

[hackergrrl]

Closing this for now, since we have the first version of moderation released, and other tracking issues around specific tasks.

I've seen the progress on this issue and I'm really pleased and impressed! Thanks for the followup. I look forward to reading your thesis!

I was thinking a bit about this the other day and come up with a few subtleties that would be really nice wrt muting

• Mute user in a specified set of channels /mute [username] [channel1 channel2 channel3]
• Unmute a user in a specified set of channels /unmute [username] [channel1 channel2 channel3]

I guess it describes a kind of subjective Access Control List for chatting

This allows for filtering your content in a way that doesn't impose restrictions on others. (Since channels act as a classifier for content.) If a person e.g. is great at technical topics, but spams a lot in the other channels then they can be muted globally and unmuted in the technical channels.

Client-side moderation would be a great fit for cabal-client!

hey @garbados just wanted to say that this issue inspired & informed my master's thesis, which goes into the area of networks of trust for moderation. i'm on the last leg of the thesis and will probably be done by early spring this year!!

(also we've got some stuff already done on moderation in the core but we need to bubble it up to the clients https://github.com/cabal-club/cabal-core/#moderation)
