   @helge @socialmedianews @atomicpoet also big 👀 to "Replies control", hopefully FEP-5624 gets finalized and implemented soon enough

     This information would be a useful contribution to the discussion on FEP-5624. I presume that's taking place on SocialHub?

     Hopefully without extinguishing the only projects with working comment controls in the process. We're not the enemy. I'm happy with having a canReply field. We support that. If somebody replies and they aren't allowed, just drop the reply. Period. Possibly send a Reject. We don't need to send signed approvals to everybody involved in the conversation. That is the most Rube Goldberg thing I've seen proposed yet. It doesn't scale. It will cause a civil war in the fediverse. If that's what you want, please unfollow me.

     There was some lively discussion on the socialhub and I thought we were making progress, but now I'm not so sure. Talks have broken down. Mastodon appears to be moving ahead and don't care what I think or what it will do to the fediverse. We already have comment permissions and don't even need FEP-5624. If that document is played as is, we will no longer be able to federate with Mastodon - full stop. The fediverse will slow to a crawl and server costs will skyrocket because network traffic will triple - just to continue federating the exact same number of messages.
     
     Classic EEE.

     This is an observation I've seen all too often. From where I'm sitting, it's always been the case since the number of Mastodon servers overtook that of GNU social servers, and shows no sign of changing :/
