Substack announced on Wednesday a new feature called Reply Rules,” designed to give creators greater control over how their audiences are able to respond.
With the feature, creators can establish specific guidelines for comments on their posts, in Notes, or in Chat. These guidelines might include requests to eliminate AI slop or profanity, or something silly like only requiring replies in haiku form.
Substack explains that the system learns from users actions, such as when they hide replies, and will automatically filter out comments that don’t match the creator s preferences. Creators maintain visibility over these hidden replies and have the option to unhide them if they change their minds.
