     @splitshockvirus That's how I feel about a lot of people with followings.

     @GD5426 @tk @corfiot Can still make sense to use the fediverse as a way to comment (been doing that since 2014) but if you don't want comments right out of the start… just don't post it on fedi.

     At that point, might as well just have a blog with a comments section you control.
     
     No point in making the fediverse into essentially just twitter with hosting costs outsourced from the company making money off it.

     @tk This guy is polling fedi for his "research". His "research" started innocently and it's now clear he's against everything fedi is built to avoid. Monetization(the bad one), centralization and speech control. He's a covert authoritarian. Look at these suggestions:
     
     > The feature requests are:
     > 1. Turn off comments
     > 2. Lock comments
     > 3. Approve comments
     > 4. Flair profiles
     > 5. Adjust crowd control
     
     He's prolific and he's mixing good takes with malicious takes masquerading as an innocent to stay in the conversation. We'll see what his instance will look like in 6 months, probably a forked authoritarian hellscape is my guess.

     It also shows this guys understands nothing about the underlying technology and why that's impossible .... there can literally be thousands of comments he wouldn't be able to see due to instance blocks.

     Chris isn’t clueless. A standard could be made for a no comment post. It would just require an agreed to standard to mark a post to not take comments. If Mastodon implemented it, a giant piece of the Fediverse would do it. The trick is software that ignores it. It would be an effective block to any instance that respected the flag on the post.
     
     Not perfect, but probably effective enough that any comments would only be propagated to instances that did not implement the standard. Then the advocates of that would start blocking domains that don’t respect it.
