Description
Similar to blocking in Social: https://github.com/nextcloud/social/issues/38
To deal with workplace harassment or generally ignoring certain accounts, we should allow people to block other accounts.
This would then result in them not being visible at all to you. No 1on1 conversations, not in groups, not in search, they would not be able to mention you, etc.
Slack for example does not allow this and it’s quite a problem especially in larger companies: https://qz.com/1641708/slack-doesnt-care-that-you-cant-block-a-workplace-harasser/

Research direction

Identify how Talk handles notifications, calls, private messages, and one-to-one conversation membership; done means blocked users cannot trigger those interactions or be readded, while the listed behavior is covered by tests.
