@kolya @elCelio @dev @Mastodon Many problems with this mostly stem from the ability for post authors to abuse reply restrictions (this is true on those other platforms!) But Mastodon primarily constructs feeds from what you follow, so I imagine in most cases it’s someone you know sharing grieving personal news. You already have the options to mute, block or unfollow keywords/authors should you see someone abusing this feature. I agree granular controls might be helpful if this happens a lot. :)
