@cwebber @bkuhn @ossguy @richardfontana sure, but my point is this would happen less often

@cwebber @bkuhn @ossguy @richardfontana how do you launder proprietary codebases if the source isn't available? i just see this as 2 negatives since it would incentivize trade secrets

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

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
