@jayeless I’m not worried so much about it. I’m treating the comments section of my blog like a personal mastodon/bluesky/microblog instance insofar as I’m hosting the public replies to my content. At some point there should be something that periodically sends a 401 Gone status to delete posts from their remote locations Webmentions style.
But for now I have no problem taking down comments for people. And I have no problem reminding them they posted a public reply to both their instance and mine in fitting with expected behavior.

Linking to the original post is a good compromise but I’m looking at being able to functionally reply inline to a comment and have it filter back to the poster, just like this one hopefully does! 🤞🏾
