We have curious people here, who want to grow and learn.

And we have others who don’t want to have conversations about what they post - they just want to air their opinions without discussing further.

There really needs to be a way to disable replies on posts (and replies), so that the latter types of people don’t keep thinking that they’re being targeted for harassment when the curious (like you and I) want to know more and discuss.

I’ve always said, it’s “social” media, not “broadcast your opinions without the expectation of interaction” media.

I agree with you. I've never been a fan of the "shouting into the void" style, but I get that some people prefer it. It would be nice to know.

Good to know I'm not alone! It really would be great to give those people the ability to limit replies though.

There's a Fediverse server type called GoToSocial, developed by totally different people but it's compatible with Mastodon etc.

It lets you choose who can reply to you, including switching them off completely.

GTS is still pretty new but hopefully it becomes more widely used. You can follow the project at @gotosocial

Ahh, so that's what that's about. Interesting. Thank you!

Personally, I don't need this feature at this time. But I know of many others who do.
