I didn't say anything about labelling, but facebook does have it in place. Its not just that they can't reply back; They can't even see their own comment or the OP any-more, let alone your reply.

EDIH: I agree with you that labelling is best and getting notified about something you can't reply to is stupid, but beyond that, I'm in favor of thinking of communities more as private spaces. Whether its right or not, mods, admins, blog authors or peertube videographers can treat those threads as if our comments are un-wanted trespassers and they have no obligation to explain their reasoning.

There's no point in getting worked-up about it. 99 times in a hundred, its not hard to anticipate how what we want to say will be recieved in a given space.

We aren't prisoners, so we are also free to choose to take our comments elsewhere, or start our own instances or communities to host them. That said, if you anticipate moderating the replies to what you have to say to be too much work, well, that's often how the mods in other places are looking at it.

Its often not just "letting you say what you want", but also, likely putting more effort into moderating the replies on your comment than yourself will have to. Work and effort you mostly won't see or acknowlege.

RE: your question about deleting a thread.

I can't even see that thread, and as that was done by someone who has an account capable of making that thread-removal happen, likely as a mod or admin, I'mma say its their perogative.

My facebook wall and posts are mine - there's plenty of shit comments I've had to delete for various reasons, and if you have a problem with it, I would suggest not using facebook. Same goes for comments on Youtube vids. I'm unaware of any reason Mastodon should, or you would expect them to, handle comments on blog-posts or whatever any differently.

Ownership and curration of one's space and blocking are inherrent in the idea of voluntary federation/de-federation. I can't delete replies to my posts on Lemmy in general, but that's because they aren't made to a community that I own or moderate, or the same for an instance with admins.

Gotta disable UPNP to commit to this specific strategy ...

Just as likely that red sliver at the end was the traffic created by his intentional usage of the phone all-along. Telemetry and ads are just that gross, but what do I know?

Some cities network their traffic-lights with similar-looking point-to-point radio-data links.
