Loops is working on comment controls (beyond just disabling comments) that will be compatible with Pixelfed and other projects who implement it!

@julian@activitypub.space It's a bit like replying to someone and then immediately blocking them. Has happened to me on here, seen it loads on forums.

There are at least two ways to react to reply (or other interaction) controls: to treat them as gospel and prevent people on your platform from performing the action, or to acknowlede them as filters and display a banner or something on the reply form saying that the parent poster and people on other platforms may not see the reply.

@dansup Great! Will this be using GTS's vocabulary? https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/stable/federation/interaction_policy/ That would be cool.
I have volunteered for the task of turning their spec into a FEP (with the GTS team's permission) and I hope to get that done within a week or two. Would be amazing to convene on one approach, to increase the likelihood of larger projects also joining in.
@julian I was going to use the Pixelfed vocab, but I do really like the GtS implementation.
I remember discussing this with @dumpsterqueer a few years ago, and it looks much more solid now.
Perhaps we'd be better off adopting GtS interactionPolicy for Loops and Pixelfed, we already support QuotePosts.
Thanks for reminding me, I'll let you know when its implemented!

@dansup @dumpsterqueer Yeah, the version of the page I linked above still has the WIP warning, but I'm told everything is stable now. I suppose I should have linked here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/interaction_controls/
There are some details to be figured out (as you can see in the other replies) but I'm generally a fan of the approach.
I'll ping you again when the FEP is available!
