This userscript for kbin enhances the comment section adjusting the layout and adding a line to the left of each comment and its replies that lets you collapse them. The design is inspired by some custom subreddit stylesheets, and new reddit surprisingly enough (you know what they say about broken clocks).

Personally, I think this is the best way to handle collapsing comments here's a screenshot.

If you don't have a userscript manager extension installed, you can install Tampermonkey, and then open the greasyfork link above.

This is SO much better than the default thread view, I love it. Thank you!

One tiny nitpick though, is there any way I can add back in the small padding between user comments to keep each comment chain separate? Right now it looks like one big comment chain.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear you like it!

Good call about the padding, I'll add that back in the next update. For now, you can edit the script, and add this to line 150, after styles.innerHTML =

.comments div {
    border-left: none !important;
}
.entry-comment .children {
    gap: 8px;
}
.comment-level--1 {
    margin-bottom: 8px;
}

@artillect Perfect, thank you so much!

I just released an update that adds the padding back and has a few other improvements
