how does 7D not enable deeply nested reply hierarchies?
Discussion

(i have not looked deeply at the spec) if you can't have nested replies I don't know if I would use that..
From the spec:
> Replies should always be to the root `kind 11` to avoid arbitrarily nested reply hierarchies.
> should

SHOULD is being awfully perscriptive here, I don't see why a thread spec would be so opinionated about this?
it immediately prevents it from being used as something like a reddit thread ?
Yes, that's crucial to the definition. I made this because I want a medium that doesn't have deeply nested conversations to enforce participants to stay on topic and contribute to a single "discussion". This has implications for the user interfaces that can be built, and for how people interact on a given topic. This is really the only differentiating factor from kind 1. See flotilla's threads feature for how this looks in practice.
