controversial protocol goals for a more conversational fedi:
- you should be able to create explicit threads instead of a loose reply tree
- you should be able to follow a thread without following any people or groups
- you should be able to delete a thread and have all posts declaring that thread as a context be marked as orphans to be garbage-collected
- you should be able to participate in a thread remotely, like commenting on github issues via email -

At least it doesn’t work that way in forums, but I can see how it would be different based on implementor expectations.

@julian mods can delete a thread, right? this doesn't necessarily delete all posts in the thread, but they do become orphans
