   @hrefna @osma @helge sounds good. For me, having a `replies` collection where replies go, and having an `inReplyTo` property, gives a pretty clear explanation of how it needs to work. But you're right, the doesn't actually say you should put things with `inReplyTo` into `replies`. I'll add it to the Primer, and I'll check if @helge 's issue has a resolution.

     @helge
     You're right on all counts. However, @evan told me directly that's in the spec.

     Sadly, Mastodon doesn't implement the spec, and as the leading system, sets the stage for the entire fedi.

     @hrefna @osma @helge in terms of managing `replies`, you can use the `Remove` activity to remove items from a collection.

     @hrefna @osma @helge I'll also say, this is some real Air Bud bullshit. If you're not collecting replies, implementers, what are we even doing here?

     @hrefna @osma @helge ah, there is in fact a long primer page on threading:

     https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub/Primer/Threading

     Helge, it sounds like that resolution wasn't sufficient for you. You'd like to see a better description within the spec itself?

     @hrefna @osma @helge also, this feels like a situation in which changes to our most popular implementation would help a lot. I've been planning on making some submissions to Mastodon. This might be a really useful one to work on!

     @erincandescent @hrefna @osma @helge it is not, but thank you for the note.

     We're discussing how to a) have all instances see the same replies (answer: fetch replies) and b) how to remove abusive notes from the replies collection (answer: remove).

     That fep is for advisory flags on posts saying whether replies can be made in the first place.

     @evan @hrefna @osma @helge You seem to be discussing something that is (in part) covered by FEP-5624, which is being led by the Mastodon team

     @erincandescent @hrefna @osma @helge right. It just doesn't fetch them when showing the thread in the Web or mobile UI.

     @evan @hrefna @osma @helge I'm pretty sure Mastodon does actually properly maintain the replies collection, FWIW
