After some discussions with wolftune it dawned on me that we
probably
have to stick to our discussion/ticket system.
I thought we might as well make it more usable then. Here is where
we
currently are:

Any feedback?
Looks great! As I said in IRC, I like the avatar integration and it
seems like the links around the text-entry box are not too
cluttered.
[These were two points discussed after an earlier iteration.]
I have two specific questions and one unrelated question:
1. I find it hard to recognize the dash (-) as something to click on
to hide a thread. That might be because the dash is *inside* the
block
it ostensibly closes. Maybe better like this?

You're moving the dash outside the box right?
I think a box and its functionality should remain contained in itself.
The dash was [-] before and is also positioned like on
https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/2ypaa7/enceladus_saturns_6th_largest_moon_has_a_warm/
for example.
I might play with alternatives like triangles like fr33domlover
suggested on IRC tough.
The reason I stuck with typographical elements is that they are
minimalistic and fit to the rest. If possible I want to avoid
attention
in the header part, it is already too loud up there imho.
For what it's worth, of all the nested comment systems I've used, I've
only ever used collapsing functionality in one. I'm not sure if I
haven't used it because it's not useful to me (I doubt this) or because
the design didn't work for me (lack of affordance, visual prominence).
Interestingly the only collapsing functionality I use is actually in my
email client, Geary. Here's a screenshot:

This is definitely too much visual noise for every post, but maybe just
for top-level posts?
