Ideally, commenting should be done on sites like Reddit and HN. Someone posts an article, you have a Reddit link-post with comments, an HN link-post with comments, a lobste.rs link-post with comments, etc.

Everyone's own blog post is a bit too decentralized, there isn't really a discussion. Comment filtering would be nice, but hard to implement, especially with context.

Digg/reddit-based sites have their own community and (tbh) echo-chamber. So people form interesting discussions and respectful disagreements, instead of "hot takes" and flame wars.

Heck, if the trolls want they can create their own site, where they bash random articles. But nobody else has to pay attention to their awful comments.
