varx - social alt

@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".

@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: socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/

varx - social alt

@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.

@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".
