Feature Description

I didn't find this feature request in the issue tracker, however, I think this is a pretty popular request, so if this is a duplicate, I'm sorry.

I think it would be good to have a "block users" feature, especially if federation is coming because then users could register on any instance to notify you. If a user blocks another user, it shouldn't be able to:

notify the user by mentioning (in general, notifications should be suppressed)
create issues/PRs in repos owned by this user (except if the user is added as collaborator)
add you to an org or as a collaborator
follow you
maybe hide personal information like email, full name, profile picture (however, you could just logout and view the profile)

GitHub docs about this feature on GitHub: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safety-on-github/blocking-a-user-from-your-personal-account
I found a ref on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/373

I think this shouldn't even be restricted to user-to-user interaction, any of the four possible scenarios between users and organizations should be possible.

You can prohibit a user login on admin panel -> users.

@lunny
Yes, but not if

you aren't an admin
they are on another instance (once federation is implemented)

I believe some of the grant application has a portion set aside for tasks such as this (and as you mentioned regardless of federation it'd be very beneficial to have on shared instances such as codeberg)
