Usually the biggest problem with comment sections is moderation. For example for spam (automated or non-automated). I couldn't find anything about that topic on the site, how are you going to deal with that?

Thanks for pointing this out, it's an important aspect of comment sections. Honestly, I'm still at the stage of figuring out how to deal with this. As of the moment, the only control I have is to delete individual feeds that don't classify as a personal website or spam.

An idea I have is to implement a publicly-viewable ban list. Possibly a file like `bans.txt` available in the public repo which anyone can discuss and add suggestions. This will be a list of domains which Bhread and other instances can reference as an 'ignore' list.

I'm open for ideas. I'm still looking for other options.
