@charlesrandall it's extremely hard to do in an enforceable way, less hard to do in a "respect these technical norms or we block you way". Something I'm thinking about for the longer term for hometown

@darius There's this weird in-between space for posting when you know that it would be nice for people to be able to share a sentiment, but that it will attract idiots who will clog your replies.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind if technically all it did was make sure I never saw people's dumb replies.

@darius @charlesrandall

*Is* it hard? I think the original author's server just refuses to add certain, or all, replies to the replies collection.

Remote servers can still generate replies, although the better-behaved ones won't, but any replies generated won't be compiled on the original post.

@darius @charlesrandall I think I agree with @evan 's sibling comment the thread, it's not hard at all.

The server where the object that is being replied to is the place where this enforcement can be done. An object can claim that it is inReplyTo another object, but the server of the original object has authority to act on this fact. If the server doesn't add it to the replies collection of the original object, then it's other instances should not see it there. Am I missing something?
