Improved Blocked user management

Blocking users on Discord in 2023 has become a necessary step for anyone in public Discord servers in order to maintain a healthy level of control over the tranquility of servers, especially for those with mental disabilities such as myself who are also prone to harassment over VC and video chat.

However, it is often the case that users that do get blocked for being cruel are often handled by Discord server administrators and moderators, and are kicked off the server, but are still included on the user's block list.

Furthermore, it is also very possible for a user to max out the blocked users list at the insane number of 22,549 blocked members, although this number may not be absolute and may be attributed to a bug that is not a part of this feedback topic.

A few very good tools that would help to mitigate any issues with such an abhorrent and poorly maintainable blocked users list would include, but are by no means limited to:

1. A) Search blocked users list (for tracing User IDs for server administrators)
1. B) Allow sorting options; more specifically, allow sort blocked users by date blocked (allows for easier reporting to server administrators as well)
2. A) Add a button to automatically remove all blocked users who no longer share a mutual Discord server with you
2. B) Add a button to automatically remove all blocked users whose accounts are deleted

    If you can't co-exist in tranquility with others then maybe you shouldn't be allowed to use chat sites to begin with. In 2023. You can always just talk to the people you want to talk to. And pay no mind to the people you oh-so would rather censor. Stop filtering everything around you. You're gonna start giving yourself delusions.

    Thanks, I guess, for your psychology wisdom, but this isn't what this feature is about. Did you even read the features in this article? I strongly suggest you reread what the article is about.

    This is about adding essential housekeeping features to the blocked users list. Particularly, to add a button to automatically remove users from the blocked users list that are no longer in any mutual servers with you. These are the kinds of accounts that cannot just simply be removed manually through 22500+ blocked users.  Once the button/feature for that is implemented, there will be little to no codebase maintenance to be done, since it is a maintenance feature itself.

    For the record, the Discord team's original response to this issue was to increase the maximum amount of blocked users for every Discord account, which is a huge waste of time and resources and doesn't address the core issue.  Discord's banning policies are more than enough to mitigate the need for blocking users; the inconvenience of having them accumulate over years of time with keeping those banned users still blocked without mutual servers is compounded by the inability to even sort users by any remarkable detail such as date/time blocked, mutual friends, mutual servers, etc.

    What a nice comment

    I hit a blocking limit at 5000, is there a different limit for nitro or something?
