Comment systems are tricky, everyone has an opinion on how they should work and how they should be moderated. Its very similar to forums and community building. I was so opinionated about my comment system I decided to build my own called Remarkbox (https://www.remarkbox.com https://www.remarkbox.com) Its embed-able like discus but I want it to feel more like hacker news or reddit (deeply nested threads). My system is still a work in progress but I'm actively dog fooding it on my own websites and so far its working well. One major take away I've learned from this thread is that people really like to use the collapse feature here on hacker news and reddit to narrow in on the conversations they care about. I actually never used this feature on either site (I didn't even know what that [-] was on hacker news until today)
