@TechConnectify Have been considering what limited options exist to help with the problem, and you're right they're not great.
I suppose there might be a way to post generally and have replies to those muted/filtered out entirely.
Then when posting for discussion to do so under a hashtag you follow with notifications on.
But that's ugly & kludgy and while it might work, if its the only slightly useful option I can think of then that is kinda the whole point of the problem.
