Even the site’s own admins seem confused. Despite defending the “blog” moderation model at every turn, the recently redesigned front-page Feed gives users no indication that by replying to a comment or post, they would be stepping into different “private spaces” with different moderators and moderation policies. It is instead fully forum-like.
The intended UI here is the same as what happens on current blogposts, where these guidelines show up at the bottom of the commenting box. It’s a bug it doesn’t show up, and my guess is we’ll fix it this week.
Like, I think this is a valuable piece of information, but definitely not one I would consider crucial. If you go to Twitter[1], or Facebook or any part of the rest of the internet, there is a universal assumption that the author of the post you are commenting on has moderation privileges on that post. People understand that a feed is a conglomerate of content from lots of different places. “No indication” is just false, it’s about the same level of indication as the whole rest of the internet has.
In case of Twitter an author can hide any tweets made by anyone else, which is not quite like deleting, but close enough for the purpose of this discussion
