Sticking with something similar to what we currently have; single layer threads.
Ian is about to start working on the comment system. We want to aim for Manifold Markets to be able to facilitate community and discussion similar to other social media platforms. I've listed a couple of posibilities but if you have examples of systems that other websites incorporate that will work well please add them!

I think this is the best option for the next 3ish months (we just don't have that many comments on most of our markets yet; arbitrary nesting adds a lot of UI complexity)

What we already have here for free response markets. A main comment with the ability to reply to it with no further levels beyond that. Now do we incorporate this for general comments too and decide it's an adequate reply/threading system?
