Yes in most circumstances. It's valuable to let people speak, but not for like 5 comments back and forth.
Lemmy desperately needs a "take it to DMs" policy.
I respectfully disagree - it's very easy to contract comment threads you have no interest in (at least on my client if I long-press a comment, it hides the comment and all responses), but I sometimes enjoy reading through an actual discussion two or three people have in a comment chain. They may be few and far between, but that's the nature of an open forum.
Why not? After a point, the discussion gets buried under "click here for more."
