Yes, otherwise 3 trolls with infinite amount of time can control the narrative of the whole platform. This will keep this platform a small niche for a single echo chamber.
There is the idea though where each individual could set a price on how much he accepts to get replied to. That might work better as an economic solution.
Interesting idea...a user-configurable squelch...but I can almost guarantee that posts with high value reply settings will get sub-memo'd and the unseen responses will go unaddressed.
Platform can also offer sort threads by value spent. I think trying to use economics (now with bitcoin) is a smart thing to do, to solve an old problem. It's a new dimension.
Stupid idea, unless you're making it use different prices for every user. Feel free to demand a certain amount for people to interact with you tho, I wouldn't charge much if I were you
