So, here's a problem I have with Mastodon: let's say I make a post and someone replies with a racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic comment. I can block the commenter, but that only hides it for me. Other people who come to my page will see the comment, and believe that I tacitly condone that behaviour. I'd like to be able to delete the reply from my replies list entirely. Or at least hide replies from blocked accounts. And, yes, I know that wouldn't delete it from the originating server.
So, our only recourse at this point is to block the person, delete our post, and then repost with a warning (not a link) about the person we blocked's prior behavior?
@KatKimbriel I think that's it. Another option is reporting the account and hoping it gets deleted. Lastly, you can reply to the post saying they're blocked or whatever, and then block them. It at least lets people know you're trying.
