I appreciate your insights, but I see many issues raised without clear suggestions for how to enhance the moderation system effectively.


I would like to suggest modifying the collapse button to feature a right arrow symbol (🞂) on the left side of the name to indicate a collapsed thread, and a longer down arrow symbol (🞃) for an uncollapsed thread. The thread delimiter line would go up just to the symbol. This change would replace the current two diagonal arrows that are located to the right of the votes, which I hadn’t even noticed before today, and I thought that functionality was missing.
I’d also suggest enhancing the visibility of the thread delimiter line. I suggest making it grey and of the same thickness for most of its length, and then thickening it, and increasing its opacity, and adding color only at the level of the comment.


My ideal default would be, users have to subscribe to vote, because drive-by downvotes are very common, and keep niche communities from getting anywhere in the All feed.
Nice, appreciate it!
BTW hashtags look messy and spammy as if shouting for attention. Tags organize content quietly and work better for reach and discovery.
