Now what... ? Everything is true and false at the same time? :)

I fear the point did not made it across:

if all planet blog posts would get a discussion thread on discuss.kde.org, 
there is chance comments intended to catch the attention of the author or 
other blog readers (at a later point) will fail to reach the audience.
That is a change to now. One cannot ignore that.
If considered "apprehension", why not respect that sentiment and act on it, 
instead of what comes across as dismissing?

Please try to have the open mind to solve this e.g. by a flag to the planet 
blog registration metadata, if people would like to participate in that 
undertaking and have automatically also a discussion thread on a post.
Or an opt-out if you think everyone by default should think this is an awesome 
thing to have.

To state it explicitly:
I am fine with and also curious (for reasons stated) to see if it works out 
for those who are interested. No objections (would be strange also) to have 
your and others' blog posts announced with discussion-enabled on 
discuss.kde.org
But myself I do not spend time on discussion on dicuss.kde.org, also not 
reddit, twitter, *whatever* . And will not, given other things in life to do. 
So I am not happy to be "expected" to either have to use discuss.kde.org (as 
stated by at least one) or to miss out some comments to me or other blog post 
readers.

Let's have solutions that work for everyone. That's also why people asked 
about this instead of just implementing something, right?

Cheers
Friedrich
