I think it needs to be in the control of the user. What do you want to see and how do you want to see it?
Of course I don't want the pile of shit that the YouTube comment section often is (Google Plus' YT integration was probably their worst idea), but when someone shares a blog post, so I comment on the share and discuss it with my contacts on the social network, or do I comment on the blog itself so the blogger knows about it and can respond? I want to be able to do both.

- mcv 4y agoIt's certainly not an easy thing to solve. I want that stuff in my feed and share it with my friends, but the blogger will want it on their blog. And blogs could be using any of hundreds of different comment systems, which no social network is going to support. So there would have to be a standard for communication between the social network and the blog that enables them to share comments, while still letting the blogger keep control over their blog (the social network shouldn't be a backdoor to force spam or abuse on his blog), but the social network user should remain in control over their feed.
- theGnuMe 4y agoThere was a YC company awhile back doing something like this App.net. Maybe it could work now.. I could see YC funding a set of companies that build on a platform together, Dalton is a big part of YC now. That might be the way to bootstrap something like this. Discord seems to have something kind of going this way. If you think of the IRC and usenet model but I guess modernize it?
