Do not hide statuses from silenced accounts from other silenced accounts

Personally I think this is a bad idea—I know the original conception of silenced was a sort of hellban, but right now it's very noticeable when you get silenced on a small instance, because the local timeline disappears. Adding things that make it more noticeable seems like the wrong direction.

@nightpool I think you misunderstand. This makes it less noticeable, not more. Originally silenced accounts could see their own posts and posts of other silenced accounts. But due to the implementation of StatusFilter that became bugged and silenced accounts could no longer see even their own posts in threads, which made the shadowban very obvious and annoying. This fixes that bug.

Hide this post if:

• the viewer is NOT silenced
• AND the author is silenced
• AND the viewer does NOT follow the author

E.g., if a silenced account views it, do not hide

okay, right, that makes sense.

Do we know when this changed? I don't remember it happening last time I was poking the threading code....
