the problem with that is that the worst dogpilers would actually be happy to make it "followers-only"; remember "Libs of Tiktok" as a use case

I coined the phrase "underdogpile" over here to describe using QTs to rally allies and call out bad behavior

(and I think I agree with all of you about how tricky it is to make QTs work best)

I agree there COULD BE intermediate options

but also we have to build them into the affordances of the software _to the users_ and the community practices (e.g. onboarding!) so that our communities actually use these intermediate options when appropriate.
