One thing that I don't like about Mastodon is that I can't edit the replies to my post.

So, if someone replies to something I said with a non sequitur, the only way I can remove it is by blocking the replier.

It'd be nice to remove the reply without blocking the replier.

@evan even blocking doesn't remove the reply, it just makes it so they can't reply again. So you have a reply that you don't like/agree with that you can't see, but is still there for everyone else to see. Removing replies is definitely needed.

I'm tired of basically endorsing people that reply just for the sake of arguing.

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.
