   fedi needs a way to control who can reply to posts ngl
   sometimes i may want a post to be publicly viewable but only want followers or no one at all to reply to them (mainly in shitposts where i don't care about people's opinions)

     @xenia This would most likely be impossible to enforce in a federated network

     @xenia You can always simply reject all replies to a certain post, but I don't think that would stop other implementations from accepting it, due to the nature of public posts and activitypub
     
     i think it would require some amount of fucking with the spec to get right

     @xenia you could probably simply add an extra entry specifying that a post is one of those modes, and then have all major implementations reject replies if the op is unreplyable [this by itself is a rather faulty way of doing it i would imagine]
     
     though doesn't stop other implementations from ignoring that, but it'll make you feel better ™️

     Yep, and that would be it, if original poster doesn't see comments, it means they don't exist. You can't prevent people from discussing things, you can only hinder it in some way. Someone can always post the link to the post and others can comment under that — as it often happens with posts on other social media 🤷

     @m0xee @xenia quite dumb if the idea is to prevent discussion altogether

     Yeah, like I said, you can't prevent people from discussing things. Even totalitarian regimes ultimately fail at that 😏
