We’ve tweaked a bunch of parameters on the abridging function, and added user settings as a safety valve.
This remains an overall pretty experimental feature, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there turns out be a better way to accomplish the same goals (Taymon had listed a few good contenders). But for the immediate future it should be at least a bit less aggressive.
Comments now load about twice as much content by default.
High karma comments load about 40% more than they previously did.
The threshold for high-karma comment is now 10 instead of 20
Comments from the past two days get the high-karma-truncation-amount
Users have two additional settings, one to turn off truncation on post pages, one to turn off truncation on the home page (where truncation is serving a fairly different purpose)
