Should the original poster be able to remove replies to their post?

#EvanPoll #poll

@evan such functionality is kind of incompatible with a distributed/federated social network, though.

Without a central authority overseeing this kind of thing, there's no real central list of replies that one can order to remove.

@volkris @evan Maybe the flagging could be distributed just like an answer? Of course it depends then on the federated network software how of handles such flagging distribution. I don't see the need for a central authority here.

@mahlzahn maybe, but I wouldn't see that as removal as much as, well, flagging, as you said.

It would leave it up to each instance to decide what it wants to do with the notification, whether to display the comment or not.

@evan

@volkris @evan I agree with you and voted for “qualified no” – flagging why not, hiding maybe, but deleting no (impossible).
