@alexture I remember circa 2010 a movement within the blogosphere to remove the ability to comment altogether on their blogs.

The reasoning was that it positive comments would find their way to them via other means (dawning social media at the time which only had chronological time lines) and would remove the burden from moderating the comments on their own domain and brand.

Some of these ideas have made their way to the fediverse designs: your content is hosted by you but federated elsewhere.
