Nonlinear, two-level tree discussion in Feedback: Replies and Discussions. (accepted)
Feedback discussion needs to work differently somehow. It's easy for two people to ABAB forever and drown out anyone wanting to discuss anything else; in fact discussing two points at once is very difficult and often just leads to a lot of confusion and derailment.
Our feedback should have two levels of non-linear discussion.
Major replies (first level) are used to raise a salient point: a potential addition, improvement, problem, request for clarification, etc. They appear in chronological order under feedback.
Minor replies (second level) are for discussing those points. They appear boxed up under each of the major replies, giving each one their own little linear discussion thread.
Now big ABAB discussions are boxed off in minor replies. Someone with a separate point to discuss can just raise another major reply. For visualising it I'll present some inane youtube comments (sorry).
This is non-linear, so it's not just a matter of being like current discussions except some replies show up prettier.
This will need moderation effort to keep orderly.

I think that just the one level of nesting that the OP is suggesting would be completely sufficient. So you have discussion topics and each one has its own little mini-thread underneath.

That's a pretty good way to describe it. I'm going to edit the feedback just a little bit.
Got something to say?
