I think this is a cool move by Threads
. On one hand, having more control over who can comment on your posts makes total sense
. I mean, have you ever had someone leave a super annoying or off-topic comment? This new feature lets you keep that from blowing up in your face
.
But at the same time, I'm worried about users being too selective with their replies
. Like, what if they only allow comments from friends and family to see? That might not be as great for having diverse conversations
.
Still, I think this is a step in the right direction
. Maybe we'll even start seeing more nuanced discussions on Threads
. And who knows, maybe it'll lead to some new features that help address online safety concerns
