I wouldn't mind it if threads on Mastodon were more like forum threads and could be deleted, removing any replies and blocking any future replies to that thread. There are cases where an entire discussion was regrettable and you don't want to be reminded of it.
Come to think of it, this is closely related to another thought I had earlier about how there should be a social network where posts fading away over time is an explicit feature.

Also, the ability to edit posts, and to change their visibility, and the instant propagation of these changes, so if you edit a post as someone is writing a reply, the post will change on their screen, perhaps with a little flash/beep effect, so they won't be replying to something you didn't mean to say.

@bobjonkman @thorthenorseman have you tried Hubzilla? It has a much broader feature set than Masto

Another thing I'd want is fully federated threads, by which I mean that *every* post in a thread should be visible to everyone viewing that thread, independently of whether a poster's account is followed by anyone on the viewing instance. On Mastodon, only the original poster can see every reply, leading to a lot of unnecessary repetition.

It wouldn't surprise me if at least some of these things are limitations of ActivityPub. That would mean that anyone seeking to innovate in those areas won't be using ActivityPub for that.
