- Comments already on your posts stay, and everyone who can see the post can still read them. People left out just can’t add to the thread.
- You can always comment on your own posts, whatever you pick.
- Where the comment box would be, people left out see a line saying who can comment.
- For one post, you can turn comments off completely. See How do I turn off comments on a post?
