@varx you mean implementation-wise, where my Watch action results in a list of subscriptions (recursively derived) listening for replies to each entry? Apparently both #Friendica and #Misskey already have Watch feature, so stuff can be derived from there. An extension might be and indicator about who is watching, just like Github issues have too (though invisible watchers are probably best, privacy-wise). 5 comments

@varx makes sense. It is a bit same as asking "Pls, untag me". #Zap has an implementation that might make the easily possible (or already done). See: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fetching-a-conversation-and-a-watch-post-feature/2014

@humanetech Yeah, the existence of "please untag me" is just a perfect illustration of some of the flaws with Twitter-style conversations. The snowballing of mentions is a hack to plaster over the lack of thread-following.

@varx As a stop-gap measure, @Chartodon could be adapted to do that. Or something similar. (thinks ...) @Chartodon could take "start" and "cut" nodes, and generate the appropriate subgraph. CC: @humanetech

@varx Other systems I've written send email notifications on a schedule ... I could possibly do the same. Again, it would be a stop-gap measure, but it's possible. Someone could then see how it works and write it "properly". CC: @humanetech |

@humanetech I don't know what the implementation would look like, or whether ActivityPub would make it prohibitively difficult.
But the feature I *want* is "let me know of any new replies under X" with the ability to say "oh wait, except for the subthreads under node Y".
