Ask HN: What do you think about “dim-lighting” low score comments?

I personally use custom CSS to make the dimmed comments black when I hover them, so I can more easily read them if I so choose.

I don't really have an issue with comment dimming. It shows that a significant number of users find the comment to be more noise than signal, so that those who wish to avoid such can do so easily.

I think I've seen some pre-collapsed threads here as well... specifically ones where an HN administrator has taken some sort of action and commented on that.

That is a nice solution, but does not work on mobile. Could be part of standard HN though (maybe configurable). I usually select the text, so it becomes readable.
