Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ค๐

MODERATORS
I really think Threads' recently introduced feature that lets you filter or approve replies to your posts is far past due on social media.
If I make a post on a specific subject, I should be able to block/unallow posts that aren't relevant or might derail the topic, without relying on moderators. It's my post, I should be able to curate it.
Relevant article
I can see why it might be appealing in a microblogging context. There it's all about the individual and their little kingdom and having 'followers'. I think what would happen in practice is Threads' moderators step back and do less moderating and that will let abuse run unchecked more often. But that's their problem, whatever.
On Lemmy/PieFed they're not only your posts. You're the person who started the discussion (in the community which we all built together) and the people who posted in the discussion are all co-creators of it. In this context one of the worst people to moderate a thread is the person who started it. They have the least objectivity and are the most likely to try to distort the direction the discussion goes in.
100% this.
It's also the reason why I would love for the OP to not be able to delete their original post and delete the entire thread with it. It should be ok for them to delete the content in their post if they really want to, but said post should remain accessible with a 'content deleted by OP' mention or something like that... while all comments remain untouched.
As someone that seldom posts new content but do like to comment it's one of the things that is certainly preventing me to comment more on certain discussions, as it already happened too often to see everything vanish because the OP was not happy with the way the discussion turned.
They should not own the discussion even when they initiate it. That's what an open discussion should be about: inviting participation, not censoring it.
edit: typos and clarifications.
It's coming to Lemmy; https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/6057
I don't think that's a fair thing to add on a Reddit-like site. You're posting to a community stewarded by other people. It means people could post highly controversial and objectionable opinions and then just pre-emptively de-facto lock the thread, preventing others from engaging with it. It sort of has the same consequences as the block function on Reddit has now where you can just block the other account replying to you to force the last word.
Now in the event that Lemmy/Piefed incorporates profile posting, self-posting, then absolutely - that sort of screening makes sense.
I guess I think they should be able to do that. If it's detrimental to the community, then that is the mod's job. Also ideally, some type of upvote/downvote system would bury said post after enough people downvoted it.
I think this shifts additional burden onto community moderators who don't want that kind of behaviour in their community.
This possibly would happen, of course.
