Discussions online typically live elsewhere to their primary source today.
A few reasons why include who controls the primary source, how long it may be around, where/who hosts the primary content, and in what context is the discussion happening - perhaps different aspects/threads are of interest to different groups.
With Nostr the primary content isn’t tied to a primary host or controller/moderator. It’s a published referential event.
Discussions can occur directly in the same ecosystem. No need for bespoke external platforms comment sections like news articles, blogs, discord, forums, hacker news, etc. to host commentary themselves; the content and discussion can co-exist. That’s a truely unique and ultimately the winning model.
What will still need development is how to ingest or navigate or collate or filter or ingest the discussions - as it’s now lumped into a single pool of inter-referencing discussion.
One approach is to skin the discussion into views and effectively rebuild those external platform discussions directly on top of Nostr - tweaking views to suit. Other approaches will develop over time.
