FEP-c0d0: Context Locking
@julian@fietkau.social yes, I was aware of some overlap with GtS interaction policies/reply-controls, although this is less fine grained and isn't tied to the posting user — it's scope is actually larger!
This might be done at the moderator/admin level, and would be functionally equivalent to:
[... rest of the interaction policy ...],
"canReply": {
"automaticApproval": [],
"manualApproval": []
},
[... rest of the interaction policy ...]
or whatever shorthand is available (canReply: false?)
This FEP is also part of the resolvable contexts tree of FEPs, so they don't refer to post objects themselves, but the entire comment tree. That means if a topic is locked, you can't reply to any of its children either, at least relative to the context/OP's POV.

FEP-c0d0: Context Locking @julian@fietkau.social that context locking has a scope that expands past GtS interaction policies is distinction worth pointing out. I'll update the FEP to note the difference.
