Hmm, nod. The original version of the truncation did actually do something more similar to that, but it came with a different set of technical challenges and annoyances and at the time it had seemed to me that the truncation system would be less annoying. (I thought “not being able to see comments at all” and thus not knowing what the thread structure even looked like” would be worse)
I am curious whether the various people who’ve expressed dislike of the abridgment would feel fine with a version that showers fewer comments rather than less-of-each-comment.
