Debates don't have to happen on the original website. We have debates about all sorts of web pages on Hacker News (and Reddit, and Twitter, and so on), and it works out fine. Everyone knows how this works.
Authors can moderate what appears on the same web page (their own site's comments, if any) but not what appears in other places (Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News, and so on).
Putting comments from a different community on the same page as the original article is a mashup of sorts; you're mixing content from different places. This can create confusion.
It seems like if such mashups exist, they should have their own URL? Suppose that when following a link from Hacker News, you get a web page with Hacker News annotations.
What URL should that be? Maybe it should go on ycombinator.com, sort of like when you embed a YouTube video.
