I don't anymore. Low quality, racism, and spam essentially led to me removing commenting altogether. I have considered creating threads on HN or Reddit for commenting but that doesn't feel right.
What about a commenting system where comments won't appear until after approval, for new posters? And once someone has posted say 7 comments that were all okay and you approved, then that person's comments get approved automatically? (because then you a bit trust that person)
I think it's sometimes a bit sad when I cannot mention something interesting & related to the blog post, that could be meaningful for the author & other readers to know about. Or maybe ask something, or ...
Why does creating threads at say Reddit not feel right?
What benefits do you see with using Reddit instead of blog comments?
