there is a strong power law in effect: most comments are written by a few people, and most members are passive.
When the population exceeds Dunbar’s number, that might be the best outcome we can hope for without layering on some kind of hierarchy or entrance exams or something.
Have you seen zulip.com yet? Their threading model seems to be able to handle subtopics a bit more naturally than Slack or Discord, but my experience with it is limited.

I suspect most members are even inactive there.
I assume only 30-50 read or write comments, suggesting that the group is far from Dunbar’s number.
