Apparently the most reliable way to make sure feature requests are seen is to use the Intercom.
Apart from that, I like the suggestion. There are many LW comments that warrant being turned into full posts, and this seems like a neat complementary suggestion.
If the feature was implemented, there would have to be a moderation policy requiring posters not to use this feature to pull comments you disagree with and turn them into top-level disagreements with individuals (if the original commenter wanted to do that, they could dialogue with you), nor to use it for witch hunts (“look at all the bad takes of this guy!”).
Well, you can already visit the profile of someone you disagree with and just scroll through a list of all the comments they’ve made. So maybe if it’s a public comment we don’t need to worry about the privacy aspects? When I want to make private comments on a post, I private-message the author. Public comments are for everyone to read.
