The bullet list seems to describe Twitter. I've wondered why most publishers of comments don't just give up and say "comment on Twitter." Not that I would like

  It would be interesting to have a commenting system powered by Twitter where each article/post has a Twitter post with the article name and link so others not finding this post through your website can still comment, and the replies to this Twitter post can be pulled into you article/post and listed as comments.

    That lasts until twitter changes their api or tos. Then all your comments are gone.

    That is possible using bridgy and webmentions: https://brid.gy/about#how https://brid.gy/about#how Here an example: https://nicolas-hoizey.com/2017/07/so-long-disqus-hello-webmentions.html https://nicolas-hoizey.com/2017/07/so-long-disqus-hello-webm... The missing part is the creation of the initial tweet in your idea, but that should be easy to automate.

    > the replies to this Twitter post can be pulled into you article/post and listed as comments I think that wouldn't work because of copyright and Terms of Use. Probably somewhere in Twitter's ToU there's something that says you cannot copy Twitter discussions and add to your own website. — If you study Twitter's ToU, probably the people who post to Twitter, never gave you permission to include their tweets on your blog. I like the idea, and would want to do sth simiar, but just linking to tweets, instead of "downloading" them to the blog. And the blog author could write a summary of what the Twitter discussion is about (what sub topic related to the blog post, the Twitter discussion discusses), next to the link. I'd also like to automatically find and link to discussions at HN and Reddit and Mastodon (in a commenting system I'm developing, seem my profile)

  If you dig deeper it's more like anti-Twitter. "We don’t allow commenters to see each other’s comment histories, We don’t have @ mentions, No Follows, No private messaging, We use ‘Respect’, not ‘Like’, Our notifications are opt in, and via email, We don’t create a feed ... for you to constantly refresh, No gamification, No infinite scroll, world-class moderation tools, We tell community members if the algorithm thinks they are breaking the rules, We don’t allow image uploads, Our communities are decentralized, We don’t have ads, We don’t pull strangers into your comments, Sometimes, we encourage sites not to have comments" https://coralproject.net/blog/five-myths-of-community-design-day-one/ https://coralproject.net/blog/five-myths-of-community-design...

    Re: decentralized communities: Is that decentralized, or independently hosted? Does the owner of the site host the database, or is Coral Talk hosting all databases, with a separate instance for each site? Re: explicit algorithm violation notices: Good, but it does not sound like there's an appropriate appeals process in place, something required even with algorithms in place. Also important to have said algorithm be tuneable, or even more preferably, pluggable.

      > Good, but it does not sound like there's an appropriate appeals process in place And possibly make every judgment public and transparent like the courts, but redact any content that is illegal and/or involves doxxing and other privacy violations. Whenever humans interact, we need something like a justice system/courts.
