I wonder if there's a theme that displays comments right on the reading page, I feel like scrolling through one long page would be a lower-effort way of reading than having to open everything in a new tab.

(because of course I want to read the comments on basically everything, those are where social interaction happens, which is the ostensible purpose of this whole social media thing)

Of course, it's very possible this is something I'll get used to in like a week. So probably I shouldn't start bodging my own Chrome extension for it yet. Complaining into the void will have to do :p

(Another thing I need to get used to: people having multiple icons. I'm so used to being able to recognize someone just by glancing at their icon, like looking at an IRL person's face, and then suddenly on Dreamwidth some people have multiple faces!)

...oh, of course, I can't just make a quick script to fetch comments and show them on reading pages, because trying to access [name2].dreamwidth.org from [name1].dreamwidth.org counts as cross-origin scripting. Which is disabled by default for very good reasons, so I can't be too mad about it.

(and yes, I realize I said yesterday that I'd give myself a week to get used to it. But have you considered: figuring out how to make this work sounds like a fun little project)
