@hannes2peer conversation_id is in place to prevent one of the most annoying things we had to deal with back in 2011 when most of the fediverse ran on statusnet: whenever someone deleted a post, the entire conversation tree would crumble and going into context would just show loose messages, or an individual post. It has a good reason to exist and should not be removed unless you want to go back 6 years in development. While it's not an issue for networks focused in ultra-casual, meaningless interaction, it's highly consequential for any node that values extensive and meaningful discussion, and for any implementation of GNUsocial in a work environment where easily following conversations is required.
