   So, here's a problem I have with Mastodon: let's say I make a post and someone replies with a racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic comment. I can block that comment, but that only hides it for me. Other people who come to my page will see the comment, and believe that I tacitly condone that behaviour. I'd like to be able to delete the reply from my replies list entirely. Or at least hide replies from blocked accounts. And, yes, I know that wouldn't delete it from the originating server.

     @jwildeboer it's not a fundamental problem; we've always made the OP responsible for the list of replies. That's why there's a `replies` collection in every ActivityPub object.

     @evan It's one of these classic, fundamental problems in decentralised networks ;) Who "owns" the list of replies? I would say the author of the starting thread gets to maintain the list of accepted replies and this list propagates across the fediverse. Others will say that at max a flag should be added with a qualifier and that other instances should be free to decide if/how they show/hide flagged replies. But who gets to add flags? Just the thread "owner" or any reader? Etc.

     @evan I'd favour the first approach. When you load a post from me (be it an original post or a reply I posted to someone else's post) you should receive a list of replies I accept. And I should be allowed to define what that list contains. But it's a complex issue.

Evan the individual wants to be able to remove replies to his post to protect the thousands of other individuals whom are now subjected to it because they wanted to see what Evan had to say.

     No, it's not.

     Every object has a `replies` collection. What we need is:

     1) When showing the replies to an object, use the `replies` collection -- not a search for `inReplyTo` or `ostatus:conversation`, which is what Mastodon does right now.
     2) Let the user add and remove objects from the replies collection.
     3) (Optional) Notify addressees when a new object is added to the `replies` collection (`Approve` or `Add` activity)

     Somehow you make it sound like a post you make belongs to you (as in property) and you should be able to control who can respond to it.

     Let's act as adults and realize that once you make a public statement you no longer "own" this statement, it is there in public domain, people can agree/disagree, adopt, or reject it, or even modify it and restate the original. It is what we want, isn't it?

     It wouldn't have occurred to me to blame you for someone else's behavior. But if you really want to make it clear that homophobic reply guy doesn't speak for you, you could reply back. You could mention that you're both reporting the reply to the moderators, and blocking the person.

     @evan i think the normal response would be to report it, and the server it originates from should ban them, and if they don't, this server should get limited federation, for being badly moderated, but yeah, it's not an immediate response, and it'll certainly frequently fail.

     But on the other hand, the ability to delete any response you don't like might be a bit much.

     I should also say, as always, I really respect the work that the Mastodon team has put into this platform. Mastodon breathed life into the ActivityPub spec, and made a working social web with a lot of loosely-defined wording. We would not be where we are today with the fediverse without the Mastodon team bridging that gap.

     @evan yeah, imho jwz had the right idea: replies to a post should be a timeline/collection, curated by the author, hosted with the the post...

     "inReplyTo" already allows thread-chaining for clients that want to assemble a thread view, AP already has excellent timeline/collection support, all it needs is a field on the post (like "replyCollection"?) to indicate the id of this collection.

     this could be a short FEP. i'd just want to try implementing it in my server first to make sure it'd work.

     I am a bad actor spreading disinformation. You reply with a link to the corrected information. I delete your reply therefore ensuring that nobody who follows me can have their bubble pierced.

     Better yet, I can reply to you and then Block some relevant replies. Leaving only enough to make you look like a bad actor.

     @evan it’s the fundamental problem with the idea that a reply to your post is *not* a reply on your post, it is literally someone else’s post that is linked to yours. Which causes so many problems.
     I guess unlinking them should be made possible in some capacity—you can’t delete someone else’s post, but you can make it not-findable under yours.

     I don't know if this is just Mastodon's bizarre way of organizing comment threads, or what, but I'm really not seeing anything about better ActivityPub implementations in this thread, and keyword search for "Friendica" isn't turning anything up.

     I saw some stuff about Cohost and Post, but I don't know if those are AP?

     Any chance you could link to the relevant portions of the thread?

     This is the last time-wasting request I'm going to reply to. Good luck in your research.

     Sorry for being unclear. I meant that doing ctrl-F on your thread wasn't turning up anything about Friendica. Was wondering if you could provide links to any toots about AP implementations with better author control over replies.

     @smallcircles @evan I can see that being a flashpoint for harassment, so making those public would definitely need to be an optional feature.

     @aral what was you called it when you block and then unblock was it bumping?

     Something like opting for a Public Block that becomes an entry in the timeline might do the trick..
