I don’t know if karma is itself a good measure of rationality, but it might be a good subject to train calibration on. E.g., whenever you make a post or comment there could be an optional field where you put in your expectation and SD for what the post’s or the comment’s score will be one week later.
Its too bad karma scores are reads-neutral. Late comments to posts tend to get ignored at the bottom of the thread. I wonder if one couldn’t add a “Read this comment” button… though I imagine a lot of people wouldn’t bother.
“Recent comments” may work when traffic is low and there is only 1-2 posts a day. But imagine when this thing gets going and you’re posting in an old article during high traffic hours.
There certainly should be. And possibly a “recent comments on all articles except [list of articles]” feed. That way, people could see possibly interesting comments on old articles, while avoiding comments to recent high traffic articles they aren’t interested in.

Late comments getting ignored would not be an issue if people primarily read comments via “Recent Comments”.

Maybe there should be a “recent comments less than half the age of the article” feed.
Maybe there should be “recent comments on this article” feeds.
