@lonelyowl yea and back int he day where there wa a single view of a thread that made sense... but it makes no sense in this new decentralized world. No one person gets to control what can be seen.. you can control who can see what you post, and nothing else. As it should be.
@realcaseyrollins No he was very serious and even engaged in solution finding with gargron int he thread.
I really hope we never reach the point where someone implements a way to silence OTHER people from having an opinion about your post... You have every right to decide what you see, you have no right to decide what other people can see. If i want to see what people have to say about your comment, I should be able to, and you should be powerless to stop me.
@LouisIngenthron HA!
@ottocrat Oh no! you better pay it... you dont want to be under the rest!
@sdgathman Yup, which is why its so damn cheap.. share the load.
Your server has a sort of "virtual" account for the foreign user who made the post... its their "federated" account but its the cache your local server has of it... but you can moderate it like a local account,a nd go in and delete posts or whatever you want..
When you do this your basically just making it so people with accounts on your server will never see the reply, but as i said even if you do this someone from another server looking at your thread will still see the reply because they federate with the other server too and fetched it from that server not yours.
If you are the moderator you can delete them off of your server specifically if you wish...
But you realize someone going to your post from another server will still see it... it will only disapear for the users who are viewing it from your server itself (since youve deleted it only from your local server).
Actually you can continue to reply once your blocked assuming authorized fetch isnt used.. and assuming your local server doesnt stop you somehow.
There are different types of blocked but the regular block that doesnt use auth-fetch is meant to be invisible to the other server, the server and the person dont know their blocked. So you can continue to reply once blocked and the replies will show.
I know because I do it all the time when i dont realized im blocked and only find out im blocked later.
Just a reminder, if you carry a #gun on your person (open or concealed carry), please dont forget to get carry insurance. Should you ever have to do the unthinkable and use your gun to save your life or someone elses you will want to know you have access to all the lawyers and funds you need...
If you can afford it I suggest you get two policies just in case, they are pretty cheap.
@evan Its functionally not possible because you cant control the other server... its a mesh network afterall and the whole point is no one has the power to silence another.
Even if you block someone they can still leave replies to your posts (assuming you dont have authorized fetch, but then your posts arent public)
Thanks for this info. I actually mistakenly thought both strikes had ended.
Good luck to you, hope you get treated how you feel you deserve.
@Suiseiseki You are right, i just did the same exact search again and it is the third hit... not sure how i missed that.
Thank you very much. Not sure why my search didnt return hits... i need to switch back to google from duck duck go i think...
