Subject: [bugfix] don't apply visibility / status filtering when requesting
 your own account statuses (#4597)

# Description

This updates our account statuses function to only apply filtering when requesting accounts other than your own. This should prevent confusing situations like https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/4594 occurring.
