It seems (Epistemic) Status refers to post headers with a variety of purposes:
Idea Status (I believe this/I don’t, but I’m open to more information/someone else might find this useful/ this is completely theory/brainstorming etc.)
Knowledge Status (I’m pretty sure I understand general relativity/the history of science/This is what I do for a living.)
Confidence with which post is written. (I find it easier to write with confidence than not / I wrote a fictional story to explain this thing in philosophy/science.)
Science/Current Events (I’m pretty sure general relativity is right / this field of science is growing and more up to date information will always supersede it / This is psychology, (link to replication crisis), so...)
Legal disclaimers (I am not a nutritionist/neuroscientist/do not try this at home, do not sue me if you do)
Subject Metadata/Instructions (Don’t read this if you don’t want to read politics/heavy topology math post/This is an experiment, if you name starts with the letter J click here(link), write down your answer to questions before reading onward, etc.)
Which brings us to another feature: Updates. (Sometimes their own post, sometimes added to the bottom or top of the post, possibly with a link to important comments.)
These can be updates on
-events (“This drug...looked really good, but it didn’t make it out of trials.” )
-predictions (“My prediction was correct/falsified/is now being tested!”)
-beliefs/knowledge (“I have changed my mind, thank you for engaging with this idea/we had an expert weigh in (link to comments)”)
-prior work (“I reinvented the wheel, here’s what it’s called (link to wikipedia page).” )
-later work (“I’ve written a better introduction to this subject here (link)”, etc.)
