So not sure how to explain this but bear with me.

I find the collapse all comments to top-level very useful because I cannot ignore things when they are all uncollapsed which means I often never get to focus on what I find most compelling or needed and end up going down constant rabbit holes :(

I wanted to suggest and request an option (you can toggle if you like it) elaboration of this feature so that when you uncollapse a top-levels children, those children are uncollapsed but their children replies (or grandchildren) are collapsed in turn and so on.

This would be absolutely killer and I am happy to explain further or discuss more.

What does everyone think? This would be a godsend for accessibillity for ADHD folks like myself who are incapable of simply ignoring visual stimuli as engaging as content here.

Thanks!

      You can do that in settings -> collapse comment threads unless it misunderstanding :)

        Oh I do :) What I mean is allowing for that recursively so when you uncollapse the children, they appear but their children are collapsed and everything down recursively.

        Does that make sense, I know it sounds kinda weird 🙈

        Edit: ah, I shouldn’t have made this top-level comment, would you mind if I deleted it? My request is in the body of the post, this is actually just a distraction hehe

          Oh, I see. That wouldn’t be too hard to implement if you want to make a GitHub issue.
