Prosebox Feature Request in The Secret Writings of Eros: Book 3- Fallout, Pain, Acceptance, and Perseverance

I know there’s an option for “Private Notes Only” but I wish there were an option for “No Private Notes.” I can’t program for crap and don’t have any idea how complicated it would be. But sometimes I really would like the feature to say, “If you leave a comment on this entry, you’re going to have to stand by it. And other people will be able to see it. And, if they choose, hold you accountable.”
TECHNICALLY, I suppose, one could do that on their own in a certain way. One could put in their entry “All Private Notes Will be Copy/Pasted into a Public Entry, This is Your Only Warning” but that just seems… shitty. Better to have the noter know before they click to send the message. And yes, a warning should act to let the noter know before they click to send the message; but I no longer have faith in people that such would be the case. An actual feature preventing them from leaving a private note; thus, they can choose not to leave the note at all… seems more fair, just, and ethical.

That being said? In some of my online spaces? I am giving SERIOUS thought to using that waiver language to start taking back some space. I feel like, in a lot of ways, one of my few safe spaces to discuss my anxieties and fears is being stolen from me by judgmental, mean spirited notes. Especially if there are pre-existing deep traumas that can massively impact healthy thoughts/living… someone treating you like shit while you’re trying to process that just… significantly alters my willingness to process that. Which is the opposite of good.
