It's tricky. Many (most?) researchers would rather have a closed discussion with other researchers with domain expertise than an open one where they have to deal with public comments.

Note that the general population is not the intended audience. Mediums like news articles and blog posts are a more effective way of explaining the background and significance of a certain piece of research to the masses.
