So, I'm a strong yes.

Every ActivityPub post has a `replies` collection that contains all the replies to the post. The definitive version lives on the original poster's server.

The OP should be able to either approve replies before they're added to this collection, or remove them from the collection if they're added automatically.

@evan I was only a "qualified yes" because I didn't fully understand how the mechanism worked behind the scenes. I would like to amend my vote to a "strong yes".
