That was indeed intentional, but after playing around with it a bit, I actually think it had a negative effect on the skimmability of comment threads, and I am planning to try out a few different solutions soon. In general I feel that I want to increase the spacing between different comments and make it easier to identify the author of a comment.
I think I would prefer information density. I am annoyed by the classic mybb type forum of low density of comments and prefer the more, “Facebook” style density but it will shorten comments to go that dense. So a balance close to the current density would be my suggestion.
