Substack Introduces Reply Rules to Give Creators Control Over Responses

Substack has launched a new feature designed to help writers manage engagement. The feature is called Reply Rules and it targets how readers interact with posts. Creators can now set specific guidelines for how people are allowed to respond. This move aims to give authors more power over the tone of their comment sections. The tool addresses the challenge of moderating discussions on the platform. Users can adjust these settings to filter or shape the community conversation. It represents a shift toward more granular control for newsletter operators. The update is part of Substack’s broader efforts to refine its publishing tools.
