A potential solution is the “Offtopic” comment section we’ve been thinking about but haven’t implemented yet, where either *I* can opt into marking a comment as “offtopic” (i.e. making less of a claim of other people finding it a good use of their time), or an author can if they don’t like jokes.
While this sounds like a great idea, eventually there will be on topic jokes.
