Feature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see. This could be a paid feature; $2 per discussion, say.

What happens if you add a user to a private discussion, they submit a bunch of ideas, and then you remove them?

There could be hard cutoff: they lose access to everything, including their own ideas in that discussion.

What if they still have subscriptions or bookmarks in that discussion?

Those could be deleted when the user is removed.

If the discussion owner accidentally removes someone and then adds them back right away, it sucks if all the associated records are still gone.

In later implementations, I could maybe implement a ‘soft’ delete or grace period. Or I could keep the associated records and rely on authorization rules to prevent access. But as of right now, that’s a premature consideration.
