Sorry, but I wouldn't. The standards of how clear you have to be are too different. In a private email you can assume the other person won't try to misinterpret what you say. In something published you have to assume the opposite.
Come to think of it, that would be a fabulous feature to aim for in a forum: that people couldn't deliberately misinterpret you. That may seem overoptimistic, but there are certainly things you could do to limit that.
If language was precise enough to prevent deliberate misinterpretation, then we could use such a language to write software. Perhaps it isn’t deliberate misinterpretation, but rather, they don’t understand your macros.
I've heard similar ideas but I don't have much hope for that technique. Natural language is too different from a formal language.
I think problem is not the lack of proper platform but the lack of second thought before responding. It’s like reading a book which represents only one aspect of a topic and directly agreeing with the book.
It’s in our nature to interpret situations in the most probable way which isn’t factually most probable but probable in a sense what a person is exposed to. This is completely ok. If you are aware of this situation there is an irresistible feeling of digging more about the topic.
@pden_app does exactly that. It lets you discuss online without the risk of getting your thoughts misinterpreted and shared out of context. They use mutual consent based feed algorithm for that.
a tech fix that makes the ‘principle of charity’ compulsory seems almost too heavenly to contemplate!
but what if in addition to one-click like/amplify/fuzzy & one-click downvote/prickly, there was a one-click “you’re not being charitable enough”?

This reminds me a lot of the "assume the other person is reasonable" rule.
