Profile comments

One feature that I miss on many websites these days are profile comments. It's nice to be able to say hi to a user, compliment their work (in case they're an artist or otherwise a content creator) or wish them a happy birthday. 

There should be an option to disable profile comments, of course. 


In the future, this would be a nice thing to see on this site!

I like this as long as it is opt in and and people can remove/hide whatever comments they want from their page

additionally, i think it should be OFF by default and not be randomly activated on pages that haven't been used in a while. users need to be able to turn it ON manually, otherwise there might be a lot of harrassment and spam on pages.

Was hoping someone already suggested this. With enough settings (opt-in, public and private, moderating, etc) I think a lot of people would be open to this feature. Would this also be considered a "guestbook"??

One reason I miss this in particular is greeting a long-lost mutual so they know who you are now. It's also a spot where people don't expect a reply (or at least usually); tell someone you like their fashion sense, or how funny they are, or how nice the CSS is on their profile bio, etc. Just a place where you can sign your name and be on your way.

i'm in support of this, but ONLY if it's optional and i can turn it off on my sites. also it should have options on who can comment (everyone, logged in only, followers only)

i've seen some people do this manually by making a pinned post that says "this is the guestbook, leave any comments here if you'd like!"

a guestbook would be cute

i like it! might be a nice way to fill in the space next to posts on desktop

I like this if it's optional. It would be great for artists
