Branch pruning, a la trn (threaded read news). Allows one to tune out unproductive flamewars. Kinda goes hand-in-hand with facilitating long-running threads.
Some version of killfiles, but somehow magically adjusted for a world in which trolls can make new accounts easily.
- dang 7y agoDoes collapsing subthreads not count as branch pruning? If not, why not, and what would make the difference?

- JohnL4 7y agoState isn't saved, so when I come back to the conversation (since there are instantly more comments than I can read), I have no bookmarks and I have to go through again, re-figuring-out which branches I'd like to collapse again.
- JohnL4 7y agoNot sure what the fix is. List of collapsed nodes stuffed into my browser's local store? Or expanded ones, if I came into the topic w/all nodes collapsed.
