How does see how signaling that one stopped following a thread has to do with ethics though.
Isn’t it considered polite to say bye when leaving a place. 🤣

Vitor didn't cover all the details.
My original idea (which I retract) was that if you mark a post with a 'lastword' tag you are not only signalling that you will not be monitoring replies, but also clients that support this wont allow people to reply to it. That last part I think was my "ethical" lapse. I thought it was enough that they could repost it with any commentary that they wanted, as well as reply to the parent comments and extend the thread that way. Apparently that was an ethical blunder on my part.
Ah I see thanks for the context.
Very risky thing to share hahaha I’m so inclined to share my opinion. lol
But I will try my best and not.
The nature of the communication can signal a face slammed with door methinks, passive aggressive. I don't want passive aggressive design in my apps. The FB thumb gives me that vibe too.
If you need to leave, you say it. Yes its harder, but you leave acknowledging the humanity of the individuals you engaged with instead of a sign saying I'm done and a "i'm-not-listening-lalala" silent vibe.
