Last night, I got really frustrated about Mastodon's lack of comment control.
To me, this feature is an absolute must -- and is critical to community safety.
So what did I do?
I looked for it on other Fediverse platforms!
Then I found that it existed on Streams (see screenshot).
When I mentioned that this existed, devs from Epicyon and Pinetta told me that this is a feature they're developing too.
Moral: if something doesn't exist on Mastodon, the Fediverse might still have it!
@atomicpoet yeah. I do like Twitter's ability to restrict replies to a tweet. Mastodon definitely needs that feature. Their "reasoning" for not having QTs (officially) is "to prevent harassment". Well, harassment can still happen in replies, hence why it can be useful to be able to turn replies off, or restrict replies to people that you follow
