The quality of comments is good for purely technical articles about software. For anything else it is more like pretentious people thinking they know what they're talking about and being thought provoking without any solid bases just for the sake of showing about better they are. Articles about economics often have the worst discussions together with anything related to social sciences but even physics and biology get a terrible treatment. Even reddit is better in that regard because even if the commenters are not necessarily more knowledgeable at least they don't take themselves too seriously. Unfortunately I don't have a great unified resource to propose as an alternative because the interesting people to follow in those domains are often not super active in the internet.
