Option to hide recieved messages or photos/gifs

(#4134) Feature Open: Under consideration accessibility community dms embeds emoji media messaging mobile privacy security ui

Current problem

The problem is that you normally cant filter strong language, or hide certain messages even just partially. if so, i havent found anything to make me do it easily, so expose these important features if they already exist.

Proposed change

  1. Let me/us filter certain language via presets such as the following:
PG-13 - Light Filtering: all of it excluding "Damn" and "Hell" Average Filtering - normal filtering (default), including the F-Word, S-Word, B-Word, A-Word, etc Slurs Filtering Only - only filter the really heavy language, maybe including the F-Word and B-Word. All-In-one Filter - Include Everything including custom as a seperate option to add onto it. Custom - lets you make a custom preset that is downloadable and uploadable. add a feature that lets you select any word (via shortname only search menu: eg: F-Word) For those who REALLY NEVER EVER want to type cusses. For any filter, List all of the words filtered (shortnames only so i dont burn my eyes)
  1. Add a Feature Seperate from section No. 1 that is in the same settings tab, under a seperate subheading, that lets you hide NSFW or 18+ or E-Dating or LGBTQ+ (stackable and optional, enabled by default on all except LGBTQ+) communities. add new tags that let you describe what your community is for, if the creator is lying, find it out yourself by inspecting the titles, banners, photos, etc.
!Note! All Features including No. 2 as invites should be configurable per chat or community. in communities this must be a toggleable control for roles by owner or mods. Once you join a Community, it must show a popup explaining how it does or doesnt filter or even enforces specific things, with a message explaining the server's rules, seperated via new lines; like discord: Community_Screening.jpg, this feature should move the rules tab to a popup that has a button in the corner that says "dont show this again" in a checkbox, this message should show up every time you enter the community, showing the rules, unless you check the checkbox. the second and future popups should look a bit different by a couple words, saying welcome back instead of welcome, so it does not confuse anyone; this might sound random but it will actually save me like 3 hours of troubleshooting time because im a perfectionist. this should all apply to No. 3 as well. my placement is here to interrupt you so you dont miss anything.
  1. (optional) add a better blur and block system with more flexible customization for everything, not just 18+ and NSFW content, and even if someone is a mod or friend, block those in case they get hacked and if.. well they just change their personality... also i cant add attachments cuz like im bad at photoshop for the settings but it should like show a preview with the fluxer logo behind the filter with a before/after side to side. add a slider to adjust the blur strength and add a toggleable feature from settings that let you unfilter or describe verbally an image or word vaguely via right click and confirmation.

Platform

macOS, Windows, Linux, Web, Android, iOS

Additional information

An alternative or addition is to Add end to end encryption everywhere. i know this may be in the road map but just for clarification: key word: EVERYWHERE. also a bonus feature that i dont really need but would appreciate is nicknames for friends (my friends have really bad display name ideas[Edit: i just found this feature but like to be honest their pfps are also horrible]) ok thanks for your time and bye.
