Has there been a discussion about labels on posts themselves?

I love the labels feature of Tildes and use it fairly regularly where I feel appropriate. But recently I wanted to label a post (rather than a comment) and realized that there is no option for that.

Is this something that has been discussed before? I did a cursory search but was not able to find anything specific to labels on posts. I'm not even saying that I'd be 100% for the feature, just wondering if it's been discussed before. Questions like 'would it provide a benefit?' or 'if so, should those labels be the same as the ones for comments?' were along the lines of what I was thinking.

Might be a terrible idea, or difficult to implement for some reason or another, but sometimes I feel like a post could use a label (like 'exemplary' for a well-thought-out post, or 'malice' for one where the article posted feels deceptive and/or misleading) and right now there does not appear to be a way of doing that. Wondering what others think.

    Add a way for users to "report" topics, similar to the Malice label used on comments.
    Add a way to identify extra-good topics, similar to the exemplary comment label system.

    But unfortunately Tildes development has stalled ever since Deimos had to resume working a full-time job. :(

      Huh, didn't realize that development had totally stopped. At least Tildes is in a solid state though. Like yeah, there are nice-to-haves, QoL stuff, but base functionality is good. Personally, not much more I can see that's absolutely needed. Not saying others don't have good ideas though!

    Sounds like a good idea to me, but definitely something that we need to summon @deimos for - labels on posts themselves, not just comments?
