I think I agree that if you see that as the development of explicit new norms as the primary point then Facebook doesn’t really work and you need something like this. I guess I got excited because I was hoping that you’d solved the “audience is inclined towards nitpicking” and “the people I most want to hear from will have been prefiltered out” problems, and now it looks more like those aren’t going to change.

My expectation is that the new rules will result in less nitpicking (since authors will have a number of tools to say ‘sorry this comment doesn’t seem to be pulling its weight’), although you may have to learn which authors enforce which sorts of norms to figure it out.
I’m not 100% which things are prefiltering people you care about out, so am not sure whether this will make a difference.
