Public posts can be made under specific conditions even when a user is silenced

What happened?

Preconditions for Reproduction:

• Silence a specific user account (referred to as X) via the moderation panel.
• The user also possesses another account on the same server (referred to as Y) that is not silenced.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Log in with the Y account and open the post creation form. Ensure the visibility setting is set to "Public."
2. Switch to the silenced X account using the account switcher icon in the top-left corner of the post creation form.
3. Post the content without changing the visibility setting.
4. The post is published with "Public" visibility.

Notes: If the public posting restriction is applied through a role (equivalent to a "silent" role) instead of using the silence feature in the moderation panel, the visibility remains unaffected, and the issue does not occur.

What did you expect to happen?

In step 4, even if the visibility setting is left as "Public," the post should instead be published with "Home" visibility.

I'm slightly confused... is silencing meant to restrict a user's posting ability?

I regularly use Misskey, so I assumed that the definition of "silence" referred to the content described on this page.

https://misskey-hub.net/en/docs/for-users/features/silence/

Therefore, I thought the silence settings in the user moderation screen were the same as those, but is that not the case? However, after checking, it seems that in the latest version of Misskey, you can't set silence from the user moderation screen at all. So, if the silence settings in Sharkey are intended to function differently, my understanding might be mistaken. If that's the case, I apologize for the confusion.
