How to “subscribe” to comments in a specific post?

If there were a way to add votes in other dimensions, this would be less of an issue. You could then weight a matrix to get a view of things tailored to your preferences without using 3rd party tools.

Examples of multi-dimensional voting:

  Up in Elon Musk, Twitter, ADSB, Politics
  Down in Truth

  Up in Physics, Fringe Science, Rant, Rabbit Hole
  Down in Truth
  

There are lots of things that get lost when you are forced into a single dimension.

There is a HUGE gain, and that's the fact that it forces the community to agree on what an upvote or downvote means, at least it should.

It has often been unclear to me why things get voted the way they do. Splitting votes into many dimensions might fix that.

Just yesterday I was noting how I up vote comments I want to check on later, and then click on my profile page and go through them.

Not without third party tools. Dang thinks this basic feature that has existed in forums since the dawn of time promotes toxicity.
