Notes
Wish list:
- a way to set up auto-replies filtered by instance [1]
- where X is a set of users chosen by user Y, collect stats about users who follow them or are followed by them (e.g. list users who follow a lot of them or are followed by a lot of them, possibly for autoblocking) and make those stats available to user Y.
