Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Wohoo! Thanks to Spaces, I feel comfortable using Cactus comments for blog posts (e.g: https://viccuad.me/blog/enabling-cactus-comments ), as I could create a private space containing all the rooms for each blog post comment chain. To me it shows the snowballing effect of features. Also, Matrix's Spaces (even in Beta) seem more flexible and thought out than the second best implementation I know, in Slack.
