   I'm shocked that fedi hasn't added reply disabling given how easy it is to make people on fedi feel some type of way.

     @sendpaws It is incompatible with how things work on here. Best you can do is disabling them to the user locally. There are some FEPs that could make this a reality, but you still depend on the remote server acting according to the spec and not just ignoring whatever it wants. You can't really enforce anything with 100% success rate on a network that is mostly based on trust.

     @sendpaws I didn't add that because nobody asked, but I have no idea why other platforms still don't have this feature.

     I can tell you exactly why no bigger fedi server implemented it yet. It's because we already have signed fetch and that is seen as cancer on this network. Rightfully so. The smugness of those that enable it and then engage in trigger-happy defederating annoys me every day with broken/split threads.
     
     If you can implement it only locally, then I have zero problems with it. But if one day I'll try to reply to someone and only to get a "Sorry, can't reply" back, that will probably the day I give up on fedi as a concept.

     @phnt @silverpill to add to that the post was sarcastic (and making fun of bsky/similar culture)

     @phnt @sendpaws Wouldn't you want to know when replies are disabled on a remote post? Some servers already can disable or limit replies (GoToSocial).

     @silverpill @sendpaws The issue isn't really knowing about a restriction. Although it would be welcome. It's the act of restricting itself. I joined fedi and host my own instance specifically so I could be my own moderator/post filter and nobody would have a say in what I do. And this breaks that fundamental idea that shaped fedi in the earlier days in my opinion.
     
     Restricting things encourages splitting the network further, which will at some point be the death of it. In my opinion, we should have stopped at the followers-only scope which already breaks things enough and is disliked by some of the Pleroma devs for how it (mis)behaves. Expecting any kind of privacy in a network based on trust is in my opinion wishful thinking anyway. Unless you do full E2EE which is another can of worms.

     @sendpaws @silverpill When in doubt, 20 lines of Elixir will do the trick.
     
     Same with signed fetch. I didn't circumvent it yet, because it doesn't annoy me enough, but one day I probably will. It's trivial to do and impossible to properly fix. Almost all of these features are security theater.
