So, here's a problem I have with Mastodon: let's say I make a post and someone replies with a racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic comment. I can block the commenter, but that only hides it for me. Other people who come to my page will see the comment, and believe that I tacitly condone that behaviour. I'd like to be able to delete the reply from my replies list entirely. Or at least hide replies from blocked accounts. And, yes, I know that wouldn't delete it from the originating server.
@otterX@mindly.social@evan If/when something like that happens, I would delete my post, block the commenter, then repost it. I suppose it’s not a good practice if the post already has some interactions with others. But usually, when there are positive replies, they set the tones for the thread and deter the negative commenters somewhat, imho.
