Substack launched Reply Rules, a new feature now available to all English-language publications that gives creators more control over how audiences respond. The update is a product enhancement rather than a major strategic shift, but it supports creator moderation and platform utility. The news is modestly positive for Substack’s product positioning and user engagement.
