VSCO Announces Discussions to Allow Users to Comment on Posts

VSCO

VSCO has introduced Discussions, a new commenting feature for Plus and Pro Members. Previously exclusive to Spaces, creators can now enable this feature on any post. This allows other users to comment on posts, such as asking about a creator's process or providing feedback. Notably, Discussions don't have a count and don't influence post visibility.

Why It Matters: Discussions adds another social component to VSCO, supplementing previous releases like profile customization and updated messaging. This feature is essential as comments are central to social media platforms.

VSCO has been adding more features found on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. However, they do this thoughtfully to maximize benefits for creators and minimize potential harm. For instance, since Discussions don't affect post visibility, creators can focus on sharing content that represents them instead of content designed for an algorithm.
