I just thought of it , it would be good feature

this would be super useful. +1

Still keeping this in the backlog, but tbh it may be a little while until I can get to it. I still think it's a good idea. Would welcome PRs though if anyone is interested!

I was working on something. nothing PR worthy yet, but i have a list of userIDs
made a setting for it so that it can be set to a file like a persona.
the only issue i ran into was figuring out where to have the bot run the check against the file.
would decided_to_respond be the best for that? what's your thoughts on it?
after all, decide to respond already pulls from the settings.

haven't tested it yet, but i'm going to pass it in decide to respond like you do in persona with self.blockids :str = discord_settings["blockids"]
