This is a strawman. I reject your premise that losing or bungling user’s data is at risk here.
Yes the ‘answer’ value is on the comment but the full ActivityPub representation of the comment is only under the control of the comment author in the most narrow and technical sense - only for those who have access to the underlying database of their instance (to get the private key for signing the Activity). There is no realistic scenario where this becomes a big problem. And if it does, I can spit out a new release that changes it within a day.
This is a really small part of the picture and to dig down into one boolean value in a project of 50k lines of code and use that to dismiss the whole thing is just asinine.

FYI, that user has been banned for a week for being disrespectul
Funny how you ban me for ‘being disrespectful’, but not those who are being disrespectful to me in the first place. Real impartial moderating there.
