the Stack Exchange example just had me going 'what in holy hell?!'… that site couldn't be more different than AV Club. it being used as an example was just … weird.

then why not prove that supposed dedication by making the quite-obviously-needed changes on another Kinja site first before switching over the AV Club?

don't forget just straight up lying. that is another thing.

exactly. or hit 'load more' and it just loads the first chunk of comments again but this time maybe 2-3-4 random replies placed in seemingly random spots.

that combined with the complete lack of user-based banning will make that super pleasurable to use i'm sure.

literally nothing obviously or else he would actually just provide a list.

yeah. i'd love to see an example of that.

*ding ding ding*

it is also useful to see the ratio i think.

how about… (crazy idea here!) make these obviously needed changes BEFORE switching over and completely gutting the community?

don't worry. in the Kinja system each and every commenter has the ability to nuke a comment. not just for them personally but for everyone.

feel free to post some of the key points from the 'strong advocates' of not having threaded chronological comments.

they won't have more than 50 comments once they go Kinja. which is what happened on every other Kinja site. commenting basically vanished.

which will be *yet another thing* will make most people just stop bothering to comment at all. just like at every other now-Kinja site.

soon you won't have to worry about that as the average Kinja-ified article will have about 12 comments total on it.

that is even dumber than i imagined it working. really explains a lot though.

and clearly not programming or UX skills either… or else Kinja wouldn't be the huge pile of shit it has and continues to be.
