With hierarchical comments it's difficult remember the context of a discussion. Believe me, there are lots of scenerios where you wish you could respond to multiple comments.Ģ. With chronological comments you don't have to choose, you can do all 3 at the same point and your comment is just as visible as every other comment. If you want to make an observation about the way a thread is heading, or point out a mistake multiple posters are making, you have to either (a) respond to the comment that seems most appropriate to call out (b) respond to the highest voted comment to make your post more visible or (c) make a seperate subthread to make your point (but risk your comment being ignored). With hierarchical comments, you can't respond to multiple people. They try to force a structure where there is none, and make it more difficult to navigate a discussion.ġ. Personally I think hierarchical comments are the worst part of reddit/HN.
