Discussion quality is a function of the discussants more than the software.
I think having a focused discussion topic helps as well. Even with high quality discussants you might have low quality discussion if people aren’t interested in what other people want to talk about.
Is the reboot of LW going to have the same focus as the current site? LW sometimes seems like an uncomfortable mix of instrumental rationality, decision theory and ai risks.
