Seems reasonable to me. IRL I can walk away from a voluntary discussion when I want. If people want to continue talking after I’ve left they can form their own discussion group and continue with the topic.

Think this is good because it usually stops a discussion from dissolving into a meaningless flame war.

It allows the power of moderation to stay within the power of those in the discussion.



Now imagine if some random other people in the group who happen to have posts higher in the tree were able to silently remove you without anyone knowing.


Meh, it’s the most reasonable bad solution imo. I’ve had some pretty heated convos on reddit and have only ever been blocked once.
