How long should the period to trigger an X post warning be when submitting a post that has already been recently posted? (ie. "This link has already been posted in /s/[subname], do you want to make it an x-post or a single post?") The advantage with making it an xpost is that people can see previous discussions regarding that post

Such a feature is pointless if it doesn't activate right away. Otherwise you will still have a bunch of unlinked duplicates posted shortly after each other.

What if it was optional to activate right away?

I would make it on all the time. I don't see a link comment hurting anyone. I think it is good to do things that limit noise online.

But if you make it configurable I would have it as the default setting.

Just my 2 cents; it's not like either way will make or break the site since one or two links are generally voted to the top and not the others.

What if people are doing this to forum slide while pretending they're innocent?...

Good point, but new features should probably always be optional just in case.
