@Wolven This would do a great deal to eliminate this base assumption (which I have battled many times and failed) that if you post something, anybody else has the right to engage you and demand that you interact. For me, personally, this is the most annoying reply guy behavior I’ve seen on Mastodon. Posting is not itself an implicit invite for debate, “criticism,” insults, derailment, or failed jokes, and this feature would allow posters to set that boundary in a way that clearly demonstrates replying is a privilege not a right. Those posters who don’t set it have a sign to tap, “I let you reply and now I’m saying your particular reply is rude and you don’t have a right to be rude.”
