What about splitting comments into two sections:
1. Comments: Imgur / youtube etc style comments with jokes etc.
2. Discussions: Questions, arguments, details, references etc.
You would need some moderating, but it "could work".
Lots of unknowns, such as how much moderating, how do control moderators etc. Its not really a solution to the actual people "problem" but more a UI/ presentation solution to compensate both sides. Now, trolls will always exist, and will always try to crash the party, does not matter what you do.
- calgoo 11y agoYou could actually moderate the discussion threads heavily, and then do only NSFW style moderating on the comments. But like i said, it does not solve the who monitors the monitor problem.
- Houshalter 11y agoThat's possible. The only issue would be the mixing I mentioned. Serious comments often get joke replies and vice versa. But yes I would like to see that tried.
- mlonkibjuyhv 11y agoHow about side-voting joke replies to serious comments. They all still exist in the same tree, but you would gain another dimension to sort/filter/display comments by.
