Ask HN: Again: Why can't we have collapsable comment threads?
Seriously, address this!<p>I searched before submitting and many others have requested this in the past. Yet no response to the contrary, apart from some snarky jerks commenting &quot;Hmm, well maybe you should go over to Reddit then&quot;.<p>No, I don&#x27;t want Reddit. I want to be able to easily browse the comment section without scrolling through pages of textbloat, usually created by one expert trying to one-up another expert about some small aspect of the article. This all but stalls any meaningful discussion, and makes it difficult to find the real gems in the comments.<p>It&#x27;s just annoying as there&#x27;s some really smart people here that often make the comments better than the original article, which is made even better by the fact that we cannot see scores.<p>So, once again to the HN powers that be, why stick with this design decision that many people have evidently asked you to scrap?
