Comments in the aggregator makes much more sense to me--no trivial inconvenience to posting a comment, and people can read the comments to determine whether or not to follow the link, and it means every link has access to Reddit-quality commenting (karma, threads, etc.) regardless of how the source is set up.

It does make it harder for the content creator to see those comments.

but in that case the people will be even more diluted, why create another gravity center?, that´s the issue we are trying to solve, I'm mostly convinced that t would be better if the aggregator have no comments.

Edit: I guess the aggregator have more traffic than I thought, I'm just worried if there is only a one way flow from less wrong all the other sites..

It might also make sense to have multiple parallel discussions with different norms, so that people who are turned off by one set of norms can still comment elsewhere. (This does run the risk of fragmentation.)

...though I'd suggest that if we're going to discuss the comment policy of the new place, we should do that in a meta thread at the new place.
