That’s definitely an interesting take, and I do agree, though in some ways I think this approach can deal with that problem. Obviously the “work” asked of a user to create a post would be a new roadblock, but if they’re automatically created in most rich-content scenarios, no additional work would be required. Even now, the reply feature arguably takes as much work as writing a comment on a post, though to some degree it lacks that immediacy. On the flip side, visiting a comments section tends to feel more timeless than the conversation thread, so by automatically creating these posts within the feed, there could be more long-term value in each post, without drastically disrupting the immediacy of the chat. I wonder if that hurdle is too large to jump, or simply a new feature for a user to take a few days to acclimate to?
