it would be SO easy for glitch-soc to hack in functionality for no-reply and no-favourite options in posts. all you need to do is check if those flags are set and return an error to remote instances that try to reply or favourite. we already got the local-only hack that makes posts not federate, can we please have this next

@datarama yes! i keep saying this and people stare at me like i'm some kind of demon

i'm just really upset at myself because i tried so carefully to open the keyboard membrane latch and the whole thing came out in one fell swoop and like 3 lines had the carbon pad at the end completely sheared off. in trying to fix it i managed to make it worse. keyboard membranes suck! the whole thing is still good but just the one little connector end is ruined and you gotta bin the whole thing
