preventing spam/harassment with a few minor quality-of-life features

[umbrellaville]

Describe the Feature

I would like to see the following features given to us as users to help head off the burgeoning issue of spam, harassment by trolls, and to help maybe lessen the load on bluesky mods to take care of those trolls on our behalf.
By empowering us to control access to ourselves a bit better, we can solve the problem on our end first.

1. the ability to retroactively bulk-change previous posts' thread reply gates, to "lock" them without deleting them. You can do this retroactively on individual previous posts, I'd just ask for a way to do it to MORE posts all at once, or even to automate it (for example, all posts after 2 weeks are locked to replies)
2. "soft blocking", ie, the ability to remove/stop someone from following you without blocking them
3. blocking IPs without knowing the IP itself, to protect against those who make throwaway alt accounts to evade blocking
4. the ability to auto-hide replies to your posts with keywords, like you'd use to mute someone, ie hiding their posts from everyone when they say a certain string
5. auto-blocking for keywords for those who reply to you saying a certain keyword. This is certainly a "nuclear option", but one that would be handy in extreme cases
6. and most vital of all: a "circles"-like feature that allows us to specify who/which list of users can see a post we're making, similar to the thread gate for which list of users can reply to a post

Additional Context

I love bluesky for its amazing quality of life features such as decoupling a post from its quote, but these extra features would help further return power to us as posters against harassment, spam, and bots, and not pass the buck on to bluesky mods who are overwhelmed as it is. By allowing us this control, many of those problems could be nipped in the bud, so to speak.

as of now I've been dealing with spam bots, trolls, harassment, and other weird issues that come with a growing social media site, and it doesn't seem fair to rely on bluesky mods to handle all of it when they've already got tons on their plate, especially with more urgent cases. With these features, we'd be able to take care of most if not all of these problems ourselves.

thank you for considering these issues! Please let me know if I can elaborate.
