Yeah this could work.

I mean we're at minimum of N=2 so I'm just going to assume it's a bigger problem  😅

Yeah, just brainstorming, but maybe limit to one comment per person on top level (and way more expensive to add another...).

Also this may be "me" problem, so I wonder how does the wider community feel about it.

I guess we can rate limit commenting by making it more expensive to comment in quick succession at the same depth? 

A lot of the ones I'm seeing are like 5 comments from the same user(s). I personally wouldn't mind one comment with context but 5-10 without competing comments feels really noisy.

Yeah, the way how I used to scan through the list of posts was also based on the number of comments, because we have a lot of smart folks here and so there's often a lot of signal in the comments.
