The way Reddit works is that you care about the content, not the people posting it.
That’s mostly true, but not entirely. The OP of a thread should be a distinguished role, since their updates have significance in things like AMAs. It would also be good to highlight situations where a different person has joined a reply chain - if you have been having a 1:1 back-and-forth, and you see a new reply in that context, it’s easy to assume it’s coming from the same - an assumption that might make you incorrectly reference prior claims in the conversation as if they were made by that person.
it already is though. you get stuff like “creator”, “mod”, or “admin” appended next to usernames, at least on the web ui (“creator” means op, idk why they worded it this way)

RIF did the former, but not the latter (AFAIK).
