   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 I agree. The problem is that anyone can put anything into `inReplyTo`, you as the thread author have no control over it. We need to figure out how to extend or amend the protocol in a way that would allow such control.

     @thisismissem @evan I assume you mean the `replies` collection but it's not authoritative. Subscribers don't crawl it to get replies, they receive replies directly from their source.

     @Gargron @evan wouldn't this be solvable by removing it from the context collection?
