All: HN has been seeing a dismaying increase in nationalistic flamewar. This is not allowed here. I know it feels important when you're caught up in the intensity of such feelings, but it is not interesting, which is what HN is for. Worse, it has the effect on interesting discussion that tank battles have on a city park.

If you don't have something thoughtful and substantive to say, please don't post until you do. Drop denunciatory rhetoric—it's tedious and evokes worse from others.

Remember that the community is divided on divisive topics and that the person disagreeing with you is probably not a spy, but just someone who disagrees with you.

This is a stub comment to collect replies in one place. That way we can collapse it and prevent too much offtopicness at the top of thread.

Collapsing comments only works if javascript is enabled. It would be nice if a mechanism existed to collapse comments without javascript, perhaps with a list of collapsed identifiers in the URL

Ah, that's a good point. I'm sorry not to have a better solution at the moment.

One thing I think we'll do is add links to comments to jump to next subthread (and jump to parent), which would at least enable you to skip the noise easily.

html5's summary/detail works without javascript, can be controlled via attributes and remains interactive with JS disabled. Maybe with some creative CSS it could be somehow wrangled into the [-]?

Summary/details are very difficult to style. You can approximate it using some hackery with a checkbox and sibling selectors. Here's an example that I was working on recently: https://smichel17.gitlab.io/donate

Source is here: https://gitlab.com/smichel17/smichel17.gitlab.io/-/blob/mast...

Note: accessibility is still WIP, because the toggle is not selectable with the keyboard. Should be solve-able though by hiding the checkbox via different means than `display: hidden` (ie, so the checkbox is visually hidden but still keyboard-selectable).
