Disagree. It’s nice to have the space to talk about the idea for others, and I feel like both problems mentioned by both anon and Ren can be remedied by clearer communication:
Anon: if you want specific, let’s say interpersonal, things to be handled in DM, you can specify it in the post. I’m happy to dm instead of comment if the author clearly communicates that’s what they want.
Ren: just flag that you can’t participate in the discussion in your post, and I think everyone will understand if you are absent, but tossing out a “philosophical hot take” and turning comments off sounds fairly negative to me, because there should at least be a convenient space to discuss it, removing that seeming like you’re signaling you’re putting out a PSA and not an idea you (or others in the comments) would like to form further through discussion and critique
