Excellent practice.
I'll also frequently apply this to HN comment streams.
1. Collapse the top comment. It's frequently good, but also frequently is an avalanche of compounded hot takes.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the discussion. Odds are that comments are lower-quality, but not always. I collapse these as I go up, upvoting the underrated ones. Occasionally comment.
3. If there's a long stream of lower-quality / redundant comments, I'll collapse those as well.
I really wish there were some way to surface more deeply-nested, high-quality comments. There isn't. (Though occasionally an email to mods will elevate one to a top-level comment.) There used to be a periodic HN curation. That no longer occurs AFAIU.
