If replies were enough, **Staff Notes wouldn’t exist** in the first place, right?

Whether to use replies or a dedicated feature is a **UI/UX design choice**. Simply replying means that misinformation and corrections appear with the same weight, making it harder for later readers to determine what is accurate.

Additionally, while staff-managed notes might work for **small communities** , in **large communities, the workload for staff becomes overwhelming**. This is why allowing **trusted users to contribute to Community Notes** is valuable.
