I expect some people won't be keen on paying for features, but I'd hope the free user experience will still be good. Don't be as bad as Twitter. Won't we have edit facilities via other front ends anyway?
I was wondering if you had looked into federating Threads to the 'Fediverse' (e.g. Mastodon). That would make for a much larger potential audience. Other platforms are doing this already. There is some scepticism about crypto on Mastodon, but they may not realise how Hive is different to other chains.
