Turning Boolean filter lines on Hubzilla inside-out; CW: long (over 1,000 characters), Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta

I'm experimenting with filters on Hubzilla again.
For some reason, Boolean lines with || (or) on the allowlist of a contact not only don't work on my channel, but they actually defeat the whole filter, i.e. they render both the whole allowlist and the blacklist non-functional. Unfortunately, the devs can't reproduce the bug, so I'll have to go find the specific edge-case in which it appears.
Until then, I've decided to turn the Boolean lines inside-out: I've written their exact opposite, and I've placed it onto the blocklists.
So instead of having "the body contains foo, or the body contains bar, or the body contains baz, or it's a private message, or it isn't the top of the thread" on the allowlists, I now have "the body does not contain foo, and the body does not contain bar, and the body does not contain baz, and it isn't a private message, and it isn't
not the top of the thread" on the blocklists. Let's see how it works.
