based on the spam and harassment on most social sites, I'd call this a feature.
If you read something interesting you can email the person with your thoughts , and if they find it interesting they'll follow you. If you are a troll, they'll delete your message and they don't need to use their platform to support your comments. If everyone used this system, trolls wouldn't have a platform anymore.
Here is a great example of discoverability without comments : https://herman.bearblog.dev/misc-updates/ https://herman.bearblog.dev/misc-updates/
Herman from bear blog posted about a topic, a bunch of people emailed him their thoughts, and he created a follow up post with the best of those thoughts listed out.
This system definitely won't work for people that have FOMO, or need validation through votes on their comments.
