Reply dialog: add audience/visibility selector (public, followers-only, direct) #1

Description

@accesswatch

Feature request (from user feedback)

When replying to someone, add a combo box / list box in the reply dialog to change the audience or visibility of the reply — e.g. Public, Unlisted, Followers-only, Direct (mentioned only).

Why: Visibility is a per-post decision and users often want a reply to differ from the default (for example, replying privately to a public thread). Other Mastodon/Fediverse clients expose this in the composer.

Notes:

  • The reply composer should default to a sensible visibility (commonly the visibility of the post being replied to, or the account default) and let the user override it.
  • Options to support: public, unlisted, private (followers-only), direct.
  • Should be keyboard-accessible and screen-reader labelled (this is an accessibility-first client).
