Washington Post integrates Talk – Mozilla’s open-source commenting platform
Reddit has had embeddable comment threads for over two years.  It was a feature I actually worked on <i>nine</i> years ago, but the standards weren&#x27;t there at the time to make it work with voting.<p>I know I&#x27;m super biased, but I still find Reddit comments the easiest to read and follow (HN is a pretty close second, especially after they added comment collapsing).<p>Is it really just bad marketing it on Reddit&#x27;s part that keeps others from using their embeddable comments?  As a site owner, you can fully moderate the conversation by only embedding comments from a subreddit you fully control.  You may not get quite as much data as Mozilla&#x27;s solution, but in exchange you get the benefit of Reddit&#x27;s 12 years of spam data that train its filters.<p>I just don&#x27;t understand why more sites don&#x27;t embed the reddit comments.
