Limits all account level "shadow-banning" caused by blocks/mutes/unfollows to X days (configurable);

InteractionGraphNegativeJob.scala: accountLevelShadowbanMaxTime = 1 //in days

Rationale;
Account level censorship based on block/mute feature is easily gamified. Any censorship on this platform should be meticulously defined in the rules and performed at a content level.

Wont solve the problem. But this is better than the 90 days solution.

As I spoke here, correct, any ability for blocks/etc. to affect the algorithm's distribution of content to other people is a messed up way that has allowed for bad actors to collude to oppress & suppress competing views. It shouldn't be coded at all.

Is this going to be changed where blocks/mutes/reports have a time limit to prevent permanent shadowban?
