   Conversation containers FEP update

   https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/src/branch/main/171b/fep-171b.md

   It now includes a comparison with other proposals: FEP-1b12 and GoToSocial Interaction Policy.

   I think FEP-1b12 and conversation containers can be made compatible, but GtS solution seems to be fundamentally different because conversations there don't have a single "context" managed by OP. Instead, every reply creates a new independent context (doc).

   Both approaches have downsides, so it is hard to choose one over the other. I don't like how audience can't be changed in a contained conversation, but I'm still slightly in favor of that solution because it is more efficient and keeps conversations synchronized across servers.

     @mario In your opinion, what makes containers better than GtS-style reply controls (where each replies collection is independent)?

     I wonder if we can somehow combine both models, perhaps by providing a way to create a new independent root in a conversation

     And Hubzilla will support it soon too :winking_face:

     @julian There was a group called "threaded conversations" or something like that. Is it hosted on your server? Can I create a post in that group?

     @pomstan Good point. Quote post is a good way to start a new conversation if you want to change audience in a container model.

     I just added that to the FEP.

     imo that should only happen for quote posts
