Ability to respond to a post as a comment #13

We call this a Message. So once a user is inside of a post they have the option to respond to the post.

By writing a message this enables the user to engage in a conversation in a thread.

In code I’m currently calling this a “comment”. Any benefits to calling it “message” instead? I was thinking that the name “message” could be reserved for Direct Messages (DMs).

There is no benefit to calling a reply to a post a message. So calling it a comment makes a bit more sense. Because you are Commenting on a post.

Messaging on a post sounds rather funky
