Investigate Xbox blocklist requests (fix chat lag and privacy)

Idea

Quoting an old message I sent to NCR Discord:

[...]
Social Interactions has a tab "Blocked", which uses your Xbox blocklist to block their chat messages. But apparently a request is sent to Microsoft with every received chat message regardless, causing small lag (which I cannot confirm) and some form of tracking.

This mod https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/chatlagremover fixes it by removing it altogether. I suggested making the check local (download that blocklist once per session or so) but they refused it, suggesting me to download https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/nochatlag instead (which is up to 1.18 at this moment).

So I was thinking, can you confirm whether this is still an issue on 1.19.x and whether it would make sense for NCR to cache/otherwise limit those requests?

Aizistral's reply:

This is marked as resolved on Mojang's issue tracker though https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/WEB-5587
I will investigate later

Reasoning

While this feature may indeed be used below <1% of users, I don't think it should be removed entirely either, it is a nice way to globally mute people and therefore an alternative to chat reporting.
