Describe the request

I don't know if this feature request already exists, but it would be nice if (like on mona) you can select which account is replying to the toot in question.

This is for when you have multiple accounts setup.

Implementation Details

It's partially duplicate of #223 (that issue is about all actions, including fav/boosts etc) which is quite a lengthy discussion but the TLDR from my side is that there are too many moving parts.

E.g. You are Person_1 and are trying to reply to Person_2 with your Person_3 account. What if Person_2 blocks Person_3? What if Person_3 has defederated with Person_2's instance? What if the Person_3 instance has a character limit of 3 and your message is 4 characters long?

This feature just expects you to fail at some point. There are other problems I described in that issue but I haven't revisited in a while.

With that said, I did somewhat do a POC around that time that was somewhat less prone to errors but it's not the same as the one you'd like
