Few responses for ya:

On the subject of moderation, I don't see any means of hiding items within a thread, only a means of hiding full threads. Is this a possibility and on the horizon? It's certainly needed, especially to combat spam which really ruins the flow of the thread reading.

I don't have that built just yet unfortunately, but flagging works. If a post goes negative in rshares it'll collapse just like on steemit.com. I'll think about this one and explore if I can add one.

On that front, any plans to integrate simple image uploads? I popped over to a different UI to drag and drop a couple images into a post.

It's definitely on my radar - just a lower priority. Image uploaders can take a decent amount of effort to get running and I haven't wanted to jump on it yet. The entire posting system should probably get an overhaul before it's added.

Thanks for the feedback, always happy to hear how things end up getting used!
