Feature request: Automatically dump DMs or replies from people you don't follow

[antijingoist]

Mastodon is set up so that DM's and replies received from people you don't follow are still delivered, but separated from the rest. This forces you to manually remove the DM's yourself, instead of preventing the DM as expected, which is a problem when a user is a target for harassment.

The request here is for an option to automatically have these conversations deleted when received, using the list of followers as a white list to determine what to keep.

This would be done when the notification is received or when looking at the list of conversations, but before presenting them.

My understanding is that even though this is a heavily sought after feature, I do not see any implementations of it at the client level. Implementation of this feature would be significant for many, and possibly the primary reason to use Ice Cubes over another client.
