I’m still uncertain how I feel about a lot of the details on this (and am enough of a lurker rather than poster that I suspect it’s not worth my time to figure that out / write it publicly), but I just wanted to say that I think this is an extremely good thing to include:
I will probably build something that let’s people Opt Into More Said. I think it’s fairly likely the mod team will probably generally do some more heavier handed moderation in the nearish future, and I think a reasonable countermeasure to build, to alleviate some downsides of this, is to also give authors a “let this user comment unfettered on my posts, even though the mod teams have generally restricted them in some way.”
This strikes me basically as a way to move the mod team’s role more into “setting good defaults” and less “setting the only way things work”. How much y’all should move in that direction seems an open question, as it does limit how much cultivation you can do, but it seems like a very useful tool to make use of in some cases.
