Am I the only one who thinks it’s kind of a shame that SRF removed the comment sections from their articles? I used to actually enjoy scrolling through the comments after reading something, not just for opinions, but because people would add context, point out things the article missed, or just have interesting discussions. It felt connected to the content. Now everything is pushed to this separate “Dialog” platform, and honestly… it just doesn’t feel the same. When the discussion is detached from the article, most people won’t bother. And the feedback loop between readers and journalists kind of disappears too. I get that moderation is expensive and difficult, but at the same time, we have pretty solid AI tools now that could at least help filter out the worst stuff and reduce costs. What frustrates me most is that the alternative is basically: go comment on X, Instagram, or Facebook. But the quality of discussion there is on a completely different level (and not in a good way). It’s more noise than actual conversation. I don’t want to jump across platforms just to talk about a news article. Good journalism should have space for discussion right where it’s published. Maybe I’m being nostalgic, but I feel like something valuable got lost here. Anyone else feel the same? submitted by /u/Extreme-Engine1070
