How to disable 'remote reply'?

[futtta]

I love WordPress-ActivityPub, but it does add extra requests (and thus increasing total download size) to my otherwise lean setup. This seems mainly due to "remote reply" feature.

How could I disable that feature (well knowing that means those comments would not get onto the fediverse)?

this seems a difficult question ;-)

from what I found in the sourcecode, the activitypub_site_supports_blocks filter looked promising, but the remote-reply modal is not a block technically and hence the filter did not help.

looking into removing actions now, but that seems ... not ideal? 😎

Ah, I think misunderstood your first question! I thought you went to disable comments from remote completely!

But it is about removing the JS overlay?

This is the filter you could use to change the output: activitypub_comment_reply_link

Or, if you want to remove it completely you can simply unhook \add_filter( 'comment_reply_link', array( '\Activitypub\Comment', 'comment_reply_link' ), 10, 3 );

You find all the relevant filters and hooks in includes/class-comment.php.

Thx Matthias, I indeed ended up doing;

add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
remove_filter(
	'comment_reply_link',
	array( \Activitypub\Comment::class, 'comment_reply_link' ),
	10
	);
});

Works like a charm!
