The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I'm way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.
I'd take a smaller comment section over the bloated, "race to the top" comments that reddit had. The same five jokes over and over and you better hope you got the the thread within the first half hour because otherwise why even waste your time with a comment
