Right right, I meant global to an instance, like an instance will always have the same notion of root across accounts and client/server. Maybe there's a privacy argument to be made if eg. The OP has blocked someone downthread, but I dont see a huge harm scenario in someone merely knowing about a handle being the OP if they inspect their network traffic.

I guess since the current methods need to traverse and give you all the ancestors anyway, the redis publish call could check for the existence of any subscriptions to parents?
