   jwz writes up some Mastodon’ts. The big one is to give the original post (OP) control over replies in the thread. So an OP is more like a blog.

   I initially thought this was a bad idea, but yeah, if you’re doing a In Reply To, you shouldn’t get to ride along the OP reach. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2023/08/mastodons-mastodonts/

     To be clear, you don’t get to delete someone else’s post, but you effectively federate that you are disallowing the In Reply To relationship link to your OP.

     Likely someone fixing the federation of all replies to an OP could tackle this as well.
